Licenses

Overview

CoreIMS supports Track Active User licensing policy. This approach allows you to create an unlimited number of user registrations but only the restricted number of users can work simultaneously according to the number of licenses that you acquired.
For example, if you purchased 10 licenses for Desktop and Mobile applications, the following cases are possible:

  • 10 users are simultaneously logged in to the Desktop;
  • 10 users are simultaneously logged in to the Mobile app;
  • 6 users are simultaneously logged in to the Desktop and 4 – to the Mobile app, etc.

Your workstation will be automatically registered each time during the login process if the number of registered active users (who logged in and are currently using CoreIMS application) is less than the max number of licenses.

The user of CoreIMS Desktop is considered inactive and their registration is released if they:

  • close CoreIMS application;
  • are automatically logged off due to the session expiration time which is 1 hour by default.

Note that you can create as many CoreIMS users as you want.

  2. Available Registration Types – a list of CoreIMS applications (Desktop/Web-Based/RF/Mobile) that you acquired.
  3. Expiration Date – the expiration date of your license; will be visible only if the expiration date was specified in the license that you purchased.

  4. A list of registrations (i.e. active users).
    A registration is a combination of Registration Date, Client, CoreIMS Username and Registration Type.

  5. If necessary, update the list of displayed registrations with the up-to-date data from the database by clicking Refresh button.
