PH licensing

[Deskin, Bob]

The way licensing works in PowerHouse Series 8 on OpenVMS is based on
counting users. There would be a license daemon running on one of the 4
machines that would handle checking users in and out and maintaining the
count. Any user logging on to PowerHouse from any of the 4 machines
would be counted. The user count is based on the license file and
software enable keys that your purchase. If you are currently running
7.10G and are a supported customer, you should have received 8.30 and
8.40. They both had license key sheets to send to Cognos Sales Admin to
get your series 8 keys.

For more information please contact your Sales Rep or Cognos Customer
Support.

Hi all,

we have a customer  accessing the PowerHouse (7.10G) applications 
randomly over the cluster of 4 machines. The customer would like to 
upgrade to PH 8.40D which means multiple installations of PowerHouse 
with each machine having a need for a separate Enable Key. They are 
asking how to set up the environment technically not to abuse the 
Licenced number of Users at any time.

Is there anybody running PowerHouse on ALPHA CLUSTER with some 
independent servers, using same set of discs? Please tell me some more 
about licensing on such an environment, how many users do you have per 
server and how meny owerall?? What about enable key.

Can you please help anyhow?

Best regards,

Fredi
