Tiered Users for Diver Solution 7.1
Diver Solution 7.1 uses Tiered User licensing with four tiers. These licensing tiers are the same as Diver Solution 6.4, with the addition of one new tier: Developer. Different tiers give the users access to different client programs.
You can assign each named user to one and only one tier. If you assign more users to a tier than the license allows, Workbench displays a warning, and the last user assigned is disabled.
The user tiers are:
- Developer—access to Workbench* and all Diver clients
- Advanced—access to ProDiver, DivePort, NetDiver, DI-Config, DI-Broadcast, DI-Scheduler, DIAL, CellDiver
- General—access to DivePort, NetDiver, DI-Config, CellDiver
- Casual—access to DivePort
See Managing Diver Solution Licenses.
User Categories for Diver Platform 7.1
Diver Platform 7.1 uses User Categories for user licensing. Each named user is in zero or more user categories. Each category has a licensed count of the number of users that may be in that category. If you assign more users to the category than the license allows, excess users are treated as if they are not in the category.
Each client program requires that a user be in a particular category. A user who authenticates successfully but is not in the required category is denied access and instructed to contact an Administrator for access.
The user categories are:
- Developer—access to Workbench and all Diver clients
NOTE: Workbench can be licensed for use with the classic Model engine or the Spectre engine. - ProDiver—access to ProDiver, DI-Broadcast, and DIAL
- DivePort—access to DivePort and NetDiver
- DiveTab—access to DiveTab client for the iPad and PC
- HelpDesk—access to Help Desk and DI-Config. Help Desk users do not have access to data.
- ODBC—access to DI-ODBC driver
- CellDiver— access to CellDiver
See Managing Diver Platform Licenses.
DiveLine Licensing Notes
The licensing options shown in Workbench are controlled by the server license applied when the DiveLine software is installed. When first requesting a license, you request users for each category. You can also request licenses for DI-License_Admin. If you have questions, contact DI Customer Support.
In addition, the license prepared for the DiveLine server controls access to additional features not visible from Workbench. These include DivePort-In, Lookup Tables, and Measure Factory.
