10.2.5. Monitoring the client licenses

<< Prev   Next >>

10.2.5.1. General information

Depending on the type of client and the location of the key (local or network) with client licenses, several options for license monitoring are available. Let's have a closer look at them.

10.2.5.2. File mode

In this case, there are the following options for obtaining licenses.

10.2.5.2.1. Local USB key

Allows running any number of instances of the application in 1C:Enterprise or Designer mode on a computer with the USB key.

10.2.5.2.2. Multi-user client USB key accessible over the network through the HASP License Manager

Provides simultaneous operation of the computers depending on the number of users in the key. Allows running any number of instances of the application in 1C:Enterprise or Designer mode.

The number of licenses is limited by the total number of available licenses from all computers on the network, on which the HASP License Manager is installed and configured.

10.2.5.3. Client/server mode

In this case, there are the following options for obtaining licenses.

10.2.5.3.1. Local USB key

Allows running any number of instances of the application in 1C:Enterprise or Designer mode on a computer with the USB key.

10.2.5.3.2. Multi-user client USB key accessible over the network through the HASP License Manager

Provides simultaneous operation of the computers depending on the number of users in the key. Allows running any number of instances of the application in 1C:Enterprise or Designer mode.

The number of licenses is limited by the total number of available licenses from all computers on the network, on which the HASP License Manager is installed and configured.

10.2.5.3.3. Local multi-user client key without an installed HASP License Manager and multi-user client key accessible via the network through the HASP License Manager

In this case, the key can be located both on the computer where the 1C:Enterprise server is installed (local multi-user client key) and on the network. The licenses number is counted by the cluster manager to which the session data service is assigned. In this case, licenses are consumed at the rate of "one session – one license". Thus, if two instances of 1C:Enterprise are running on the same computer (in any startup mode and with any client kind), then two licenses will be spent on it.

10.2.5.4. Web client

Depending on the infobase mode (file or client/server), licenses are counted by either the web server extension module (in file mode) or 1C:Enterprise server (in client/server mode).

In this case, the key can be located both on the computer where the web server extension module is installed (or 1C:Enterprise server), and on the network. The web server extension module (or 1C:Enterprise server) directly counts the licenses. In this case, licenses are consumed at the rate of "one session – one license". Thus, if two windows of a web browser are open on the same computer with access to the same infobase, then two licenses will be spent on it.

10.2.5.5. Thin client running via web server

To obtain licenses, the thin client can use:

• Local USB key
• Multi-user USB key accessible for the thin client over the network through the HASP License Manager
• Web server extension module or 1C:Enterprise server

If a license is obtained directly by a thin client, then on one computer, you can start an arbitrary number of instances of the application in 1C:Enterprise mode.

A license can also be issued by a web server extension module (in the case of the file mode) or by 1C:Enterprise server (in the case of the client/server mode). In this case, the web server extension module or 1C:Enterprise server directly counts the licenses number. In this case, licenses are consumed at the rate of "one session – one license". Thus, if two instances of 1C:Enterprise are running on one computer, then two licenses will be spent for this. In this case, the key can be located both on the computer where the web server extension module is installed (or 1C:Enterprise server), and on the network.

10.2.5.6. Local key and web client

If a local key is installed on a computer with 1C:Enterprise server or a web server (in the case of a file infobase), then you can run:

• Any number of Designer instances on a computer with the key.
• Any number of client applications (except for the web client) on other computers if client licenses are available to them.
• In case of the infobase file mode:
  • One client application (including the web client) on any computer if the client key is not available to it.
  • Any number of client applications (except the web client) on a computer with the USB key.
• In case of the infobase client/server mode:
  • One client application (including the web client) on any computer if the client key is not available to it.
  • Any number of client applications (except the web client) on a computer with the USB key.

In other words, you can perform developing and debugging with a web client using just the local key.

10.2.5.7. COM connection

When using a 32-bit COM connection, the available licenses are searched for in the following order:

• Local client licenses
• Local server licenses (both 32-bit and 64-bit)
• Network client licenses
• Client licenses on the 1C:Enterprise server (when in client/server mode) or on the web server (when in file mode, connected via the web server)

When using a 64-bit COM connection, the available licenses are searched for in the following order:

• Local client licenses
• Local server license (64-bit only)
• Network client licenses
• Client licenses on the 1C:Enterprise server (when in client/server mode) or on the web server (when in file mode, connected via the web server)

10.2.5.8. Internet services, background jobs

Internet services (web services, HTTP services, and requests to OData) and background jobs do not require client licenses. However, if the infobase that provides Internet services operates in client/server mode, you must have a server license to operate 1C:Enterprise server.

10.2.5.9. Terminal server

In this case, there are the following options for obtaining licenses.

10.2.5.9.1. Local USB key

Using a local key in the terminal session is not possible on the following operating systems:

• Client operating systems: Microsoft Windows 7 and later.
• Server operating systems: Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and later.

If the operating system used is later than the above, then using a local key allows only one user to operate, who has connected to the terminal session with the identifier 0. Allows running any number of instances of the application in 1C:Enterprise or Designer mode. For terminal sessions with a non-zero session identifier, local keys are not available.

10.2.5.9.2. Multi-user client key

You can use licenses from a multi-user client key installed on the terminal server only if the HASP License Manager is installed and configured on the terminal server. Client licenses are counted for in a manner similar to a multi-user client key available on the network through the HASP License Manager. In this case, one terminal session is considered as one workstation.

10.2.5.10. Mobile client

Depending on the version of the infobase, the license is counted by:

• Web server extension module (file mode).
• 1C:Enterprise server (client/server mode).

The key can be located both on the computer where the web server extension module is installed (or 1C:Enterprise server), and on the network. Licenses are consumed at the rate of "one session – one license". Thus, if two instances of an application that are connected to the same infobase are running on the same mobile device, then two licenses will be spent on it.

Also note that the mobile client always requires a separate client license (from a multi-user package) for its operation. It means that the full development of an application running on a mobile client using only a local protection key is impossible.

10.2.5.11. Shared use of security keys

When 1C:Enterprise server (or web server extension) counts client licenses, client licenses that have the Timeout column value equal to 0 in Aladdin Monitor will be considered used. In this regard, it is not recommended to use the same multi-user HASP keys to simultaneously obtain client licenses using the HASP License Manager and the 1C:Enterprise server (or web server extensions).

Also note that if several multi-user ORGL8 client keys are detected on the network, the server will select one random key. After all licenses are used up for this key, you may use one multi-user ORG8A key, and then you may use one multi-user ORG8B key. When a client application selects the same network client key, which is selected by the server, the client application can also stop searching for a license in other keys of the same series available on the network.

10.2.5.12. Standalone server

If a standalone server is used, a license can be obtained using:

• Local key (thin client only).
• Multi-user key available to thin client in the network via HASP License Manager.
• Standalone 1C:Enterprise server.

If a license is obtained directly by a thin client, then on one computer, you can start an arbitrary number of instances of the application in 1C:Enterprise mode.

If a license is issued by a standalone server, then licenses are spent "per session". In this case, the key must be available to the instance of the standalone server that serves the used infobase. For the standalone server, enable the option to issue licenses (the infobase.distribute-licenses parameter of the standalone server configuration file).
