Licensing and Ordering Information: Advanced Server V7.3B for OpenVMS and
PATHWORKS V6.1 for OpenVMS (Advanced Server)
SOFTWARE LICENSING
Both the the Advanced Server V7.3B for OpenVMS and PATHWORKS V6.1 for OpenVMS
(Advanced Server) products are licensed for use in exactly the same way. Each product is
purchased by licensing the clients or applications that use the services provided by the product.
There is no additional fee.
Though previously purchased licenses continue to be valid for use with pre-V6.0 servers, only
the new Client Access licenses can be purchased when adding new clients to existing systems.
The license required for clients to use Advanced Server file and print services is referred to as
a Client Access license (PAK Product Name: PWLMXXXCA07.03). (Note: COM for OpenVMS
users do not require a license to use the Advanced Server. Only clients using the file and print
servers require a license.)
Though there is only one license sold for any client using this Advanced Server, this license can
be used in one of two ways:
• Client-based mode (also known as per-seat mode)
• Server-based mode (also known as per-server or concurrent-use mode)
A description of the two different licensing modes follows.
• Client-based licensing mode
When a license for Advanced Server is used in client-based mode, the right to use the
server is assigned electronically to a particular client or seat. Once the right is assigned,
the client system can access all systems that are running Advanced Server as well as
all systems that are running any previous version of the file and print server. (Note:In
client-based mode, the PAK associated with the Client Access license works only with
PATHWORKS V5.0 for OpenVMS (LAN Manager) servers that have been upgraded to a
minimum of V5.0F. Earlier revisions of PATHWORKS V5.0x will not recognize this PAK.)
Client-based licensing is typically used when a customer has more than one server and in
systems where clients normally access more than one server at the same time. Because
only one license per client is required regardless of how many servers are being accessed,
client-based licensing mode can be more economical than server-based mode. In addition,
because a client with a client-based license cannot be refused access to a server because
of license limits, this mode also guarantees that a particular system will always have access
to one or more servers.
Note: To use this licensing mode, a small licensing agent must be loaded and enabled
on each licensed client. The code for this licensing agent is distributed with the Advanced
Server and is also available on CD-ROM at a nominal fee.
