Crystal Enterprise Licensing

[rico7937]

Does anyone have any info I could read up on or provide to me on how do I find out the pros and cons of Concurrent License vs Named User License.

We are upgrading to v10 in Enterprise and plan to use the web based e-portfolio very extensively. I just need to figure out what are my best options for licensing. I spoke to Business Object and they just sent me a white paper on CE 8 Licenese usage which does not reall go into much detail. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Rico,

The difference between Concurrent and Named is basically:

Named: 1 licence required for each username

Concurrent: If you have a 10 Concurrent user license you can have as many user names as you want, but only 10 will be able to login simultaneously. This includes publishing ith Crystal Reports.

Also, this tread explains it a little further.
