Licences

The purpose of this blog is to detail the included components of the various licence types that are available with Amicus point of sale software.

There are a couple of general categories that the licences can fall under, express, standard, and add-on licences. Express licences are for very small enterprises and demonstration releases. An enterprise may only have a maximum of two express licences at any time, and the inclusion of an express licence excludes the ability to also include standard licences. Standard licences are for the majority of our customers and larger demonstration models. A client release can include any number or combination of standard licences up to the maximum licence type limit. Currently this is set as 4096 licences (this maximum refers to each licence type, therefore a client could feasibly have 4096 licences for each of the 4000 approx available licence slots). As the name suggests, add-ons are not stand alone editions of Amicus, but rather include non-core functionality that lives outside the standard and express editions.
