concurrent user question

buchhot

Hi you NAV Guru's!

I hope you can help me with this because until now I did not find a clear answer to this.
As NAV uses concurrent users how will it handle these situations:

* One User opens the same NAV database twice (two screens and better overview, useful in some cases) -> How much licenses will be consumed - 1 or 2?
I hope just one.
* One User opens two different databases (we also have a demo-database which is copy of live system where users can try things before they do it in the live system)
I guess it must be two.

Maybe you can give me some help about that.

Looking forward to your answers and many thanks in advance to you.

Best wishes from Austria

I think it consumes 2 Licenses in this case

I think it consumes 1 License in Live database and 1 license in demo-database

Hi

Case 1: One user opens the same db twice: 2 Licenses
Case 2: One user opens test and live db: Imho the licenses are per db, so there is 1 license used for each session, but from 2 different pools. There may be a special case under sql if test and live db are on the same sql server instance.

Anyway, you can test it in your environment if you File, Database, Information.

Hope this helps.

Hi mohana_cse06!

Wow, that was fast ;-)
Many thanks for that.

As I just have one license imported into the server and so in the databases you think it uses 2 licenses in both the cases.
Do you have any idea how to check that for sure, because as I understand you also are not 100 percent sure, right?

kind regards
Thomas

You can test here under Sessions tab

Hi ta5!
Hi mohana_cse06!

Thank you both for the hint.

I tested with File -> Database -> Information and it is like you said.

As the databases are all on the same sql-server it in both cases uses two licenses.
So for me the case is solved.

Thank you very much for your help.
