All licenses that include the Content Management Server share the concept of a fixed number of concurrent users (CU). This number is defined in the cmConcurrentUsers
subelement of the machine
element and specifies the maximum number of sessions that may be active simultaneously, independently of the client used.
The Content Management Server counts and takes into account each successful login process. This means that users logged-on multiply under the same user name also count multiply.
Using the
licenseManager
command, which is described in the Tcl Reference Manual for the Content Management
Server, the number of users logged into the server can be queried.
Shared CU
If a machine
element includes the
cmFloatingLicense
component, the CU are available to all
instances of the CM operated on this machine and are shared among these
instances. For this to work, the instances are required to use a
common database. Furthermore, the versions of the CMS Fiona
installations to which these instances belong must have the same
major version number (e.g. 6).
The CU will be assigned to the instances as required. Example:
Without floating licenses:
With Floating Licenses:
