License rule types

You can select the following license rule types when you create a license rule.

Aggregated weighting

A threshold is specified for the license rule and a weighting is assigned to each product contained in the license rule. The number of unique users who are consuming licenses from the license group is multiplied by the respective weighting of the license. If the calculated total value exceeds the threshold, the license usage exceeds the purchased license volume.

Example

The license group contains ARIS Connect Designer licenses (weighting = 10) and ARIS Connect Viewer licenses (weighting = 5). The specified threshold is 100. At a given point in time, nine users are logged in with ARIS Connect Designer licenses and two with ARIS Connect Viewer licenses. The calculated value of the consumed licenses is 100 (= 9 x 10 + 2 x 5) and therefore the license usage is not exceeded. As soon as an additional unique user logs in, the threshold is exceeded.

Base & Peak

A limit is specified for each product contained in the license rule. If the number of unique users who are consuming licenses from the license group exceeds the specified limit of the respective product, the license usage exceeds the purchased license volume.

Example

The license group contains ARIS Connect Designer licenses (limit = 10) and ARIS Connect Viewer licenses (limit = 5). At a given point in time, ten users are logged in with ARIS Connect Designer licenses and four with ARIS Connect Viewer licenses. Therefore, no limit is exceeded (base). As soon as an additional user logs in with ARIS Connect Designer license, the limit specified for this product is exceeded (peak).

DBP (Digital Business Platform)

The maximum number of products (threshold) and the products that can be concurrently used within a license group are specified (license bundle). Furthermore, a user should not use more than one license of a product concurrently. If the number of unique users who are consuming licenses from the license group exceeds the specified threshold, or if a user logs in with both products, the license usage exceeds the purchased license volume.

Example

The license bundle of the license group contains ARIS Connect Designer licenses and ARIS Connect Viewer licenses. The specified threshold is 10. At a given point in time, nine users are logged in with ARIS Connect Designer licenses and an additional user is logged in with ARIS Connect Viewer license. As soon as the user who is logged in with ARIS Connect Viewer license logs in with ARIS Connect Designer license, the threshold is exceeded.
