13 New License Types and Usage

Starting with Interplay version 2.7, customers can buy two types of client licenses:

• Interplay Central Base license

• Interplay Central Advance license

The names of these licenses include Interplay Central, but the licenses themselves are used for

all Interplay client applications. For example, a user on one workstation can work with all of the

following applications concurrently and use only one Interplay Central Base license:

• Digidesign

™

Pro Tools

Integration

• Interplay Access

• Interplay Assist

• Interplay Central (access to iNEWS only or Interplay Production only)

• Interplay Sphere

• Media Composer, Avid Symphony, or NewsCutter

Prior to version 2.7, customers purchased licenses for individual applications. These legacy

licenses are still supported, as described later in this topic.

Interplay Engine patch release 2.7.0.2 added support for the Central Base license (KEY-J) and

Central Advance license (KEY-G) to be used as universal license types. This change allows these

licenses to be used for both legacy and Interplay Central client connections.

Customers can also buy two types of server licenses:

• Interplay Archive Engine

• Interplay Streaming Server

There is no license required for the Interplay Engine.

The following table describes the license types used for Interplay Production v2.7.0.2 and later,

how they are displayed in the Interplay Administrator Licenses view, and which applications

they license.
