Question

What types of license models do you offer?
Do you offer Enterprise Licenses or 'Concurrent User' or 'Floating User' licenses?

Answer

Yes. Our products have 2 license models:

  1. The most common is our 'Per seat' or 'Per named user'. Each person (or machine) will be assigned a license (whichever number is greater, persons or machines). See here for more info.

  2. We also offer a 'Enterprise Cloud' licenses (also known as Concurrent or Floating user licenses). This can be more cost effective when there are many users who will make use of the tool.

How it works

Cloud Floating Licenses are 'shared licenses' that are 'pooled' and require an internet connection to share the set of licenses from our Online License Server.

For example, you can have 5 floating cloud licenses and 50 users who have the product installed, the usage of the tool in this case is limited to 5 users using the tool at the exact same time. When a user is finished with using the tool (such as after building reports), the license automatically be released back to the pool of cloud licenses for other users to use.

Floating/concurrent user licenses have an auto-deactivate feature to auto release licenses when the application is closed (must not have future scheduled jobs).

Cognillo products that support floating licenses have a manual ‘Deactivate’ button option to release a floating/concurrent license back to pool.
