Licences

A client’s purchased SaaS subscription licences will be assigned to one of two categories by the client’s primary administrator. These categories are USER (unique individual) or WORKSTATION (a unique asset/device). The essential difference is that for a USER licence the unique user has the freedom to log on to their Enact session from any web-browser, on any device, anywhere in the world, one instance at a time. A WORKSTATION licence allows multiple users, including those not assigned an individual licence, to log in to their Enact session from a licensed workstation or device, one user at a time. Subject to the subscription and licencing agreement, the primary administrator can assign/reassign licences at their discretion through the Licence Management functionality within Enact. USER and WORKSTATION licences are interchangeable within the same Enact tenant (single subscription agreement).

Similar to named users, you must only assign licences to uniquely named workstations, which identify a specific browser/device combination, like Microsoft Edge on your laptop or Chrome on your tablet. For more information, please see Authenticating Workstations.

For example, if you name two or more devices Default Workstation, and assign a workstation licence to Default Workstation, only the last logged in device can use that workstation licence. This applies even if the user logging in has a user licence.

Connection Licences

With the implementation of data sharing, daily aggregated records can be continuously shared from one Enact tenant to another Enact tenant. This makes it easier to maintain and track licences for established connections and to analyse and review external companies, such as vendors. These are known as Connection Licences. Every active connection in Enact will be 2 connection licences: one at the supplier's end and one at the receiver's end. A connection licence is only removed when the connection is terminated or deleted.

Connection Licences are displayed in the Licence Management page and cannot be removed.

Benefits

  • Easier to track licensing information when data sharing is configured.

  • Data analysis roll-ups can now be easily accessible in aggregate dashboard tiles.
