The standard license file continues to be used for standalone AE Services server licensing. A standard license is generated by the
Product Licensing and Delivery System (PLDS) from the system record
for an AE Services server.
|
Enterprise-wide licensing includes a master enterprise license
file (ELF) and an allocation license file (ALF).
The master enterprise
license file (ELF) is generated by the PLDS from the system record
from the enterprise. The master license file can reside on an AE Services server or a dedicated WebLM server.
The allocation
license file (ALF) is generated by WebLM based on features in the
master license file and user allocations on the AE Services server. The ALF or ALFs can reside on one or more AE Services servers.
|
The standard license file is installed on the AE Services server. In a standard licensing arrangement, AE Services and the WebLM server are normally co-resident.
|
With enterprise wide licensing, the WebLM server does not have
to be co-resident with AE Services, but each local WebLM server is normally co-resident with
the AE Services server that it licenses.
|
With standard licensing, a license can not be moved from one server
to another, and capacities can not be reallocated.
|
With enterprise-wide licensing, you can reallocate enterprise capacities
and features as desired.
