How is
PSched licensed?
In Scope
Solutions, Inc. offer tow Software Licensing options:
The Utility Licensing Model and the Fixed Licensing Model.
Under
a Utility License* The PSched Server will periodically report the number
of scheduled jobs to In Scope Solutions, Inc. and we will bill you a Flat Fee
per job you schedule. Billing, Payments and licensing are integrated and you
will have no limitation on how many Full PSched Clients or PSched Viewer Clients
you install. There is no up front investment except for a flat Setup Fee to
initiate the integration of your installation into our systems.

|
Under
a Fixed License the
PSched license requirements are determined by the number of users that you
want to be able to log into the PSched Server concurrently (at the same time). The server limits the
number of concurrent connections based on the installed license code. You can
install the PSched Client on as many workstations (PCs) as you wish, but only the number
of users less than or equal to the number of Client Licenses you purchased can use
PSched concurrently.

How
is PSched Viewer licensed?
Under
a Utility License Shop Floor Data Collection is simply rolled in to the
Flat Fee. (See "How much does PSched cost?"
for details)
Under
a Fixed License if you
chose the optional Shop Floor Data Collection Package, PSched
Viewer can also be installed on as many Workstations as you wish. The difference
is that there is not a limit to the number of
concurrent connections for using PSched Viewer. PSched Viewer is provided in the shop floor data
collection package as a flat-fee license together with the Workflow Manager
Server.
Fixed
License Model only:
How
many licenses do I need?
The
answer depends on how many concurrent users you will have in your shop and if
you chose to use Shop Floor Data Collection. Typically the Scheduler(s) and/or Customer Service Reps (CSRs), Department Managers and
executive users will want access to PSched on an all-day every-day basis.
The
following example may help you determine your licensing needs:

ABC
Printing has
three departments, Prep, Printing and Finishing.
The Printing and Finishing
department are managed by the same person. Three CSR's perform the
role of the Schedulers. There are two Executives who take turns accessing PSched.
The rest of the company uses the Shop Floor Data
Collection Package, PSched Viewer, for viewing and
progress reporting purposes. |
