Deployment for a single user

Seat license

Deployment for a single user

The license is installed on the same computer as PLA 3.0. The computer is connected to a local SQLite database. PLA 3.0 can be used by all users of this computer, but only one user can access it at a time.

Use this scenario if you want to use PLA 3.0 on one designated computer.

Deployment in a small environment

Seat license

Deployment in a small environment

The license is installed on the same computer as PLA 3.0. The computer is connected to a Microsoft SQL database server. PLA 3.0 can be used by all users of this computer, but only one user can access it at a time.

In this example, two Seat licenses are required, one for each local computer.

Use this scenario in very small environments, if users should be able to collaborate on the same database.

Deployment for concurrent use in a shared environment

Concurrent use license on a license server

Deployment for concurrent use in a shared environment (license server)

PLA 3.0 is installed on local computers that are connected to a Microsoft SQL database server. The license is installed on a license server in this network.

The license server keeps track of the currently used licenses as well as the maximum number of available licenses. Computers with a PLA 3.0 installation act as clients and connect to the license server to obtain a valid license. When PLA 3.0 is closed on a client, the respective license is available again.

Use this scenario if you want several users to be able to log in to PLA 3.0 at the same time, sharing the same license distributed by a license server, and collaborating on the same database.

Concurrent use license on a computer that acts as a license server

Deployment for concurrent use in a shared environment (computer as license server)

PLA 3.0 is installed on local computers that are connected to a Microsoft SQL database server. The license is installed on a computer in this network that acts as a license server.

The computer distributing the license behaves in the same way as the license server in the 'Concurrent use license on a license server' scenario.

Use this scenario if you want several users to be able to log in to PLA 3.0 at the same time, sharing the same license distributed by another computer, and collaborating on the same database.

Deployment in a terminal server environment

Concurrent use license

Deployment in a terminal server environment

PLA 3.0 is installed on a terminal server that is connected to a Microsoft SQL database server.
The terminal server is accessed by a terminal client. The license is installed on a license server.

Use this scenario if you want to set up a central PLA 3.0 installation for all PLA 3.0 users.
