Licensing custom forms and IDOs

If customers add custom forms, copy or extend existing forms, create new IDOs, or extend existing IDOs, the forms and IDOs are licensed using this information in the license document and the ModuleMembers table:

  • New customer-created IDOs that do not extend other IDOs are automatically assigned to the MGUserCreatedIDOs license module.
  • New customer-created IDOs that extend another IDO are automatically assigned to the license modules to which the base IDO belongs.
  • New customer-created forms that are not copied from another form are automatically assigned to the MGUserCreatedForms license module.
  • Copied forms are automatically assigned to the license modules to which the source/original form belonged.
  • A new form that extends an existing form is automatically assigned to the license modules to which the existing form belonged.

Be aware that, if you have multiple application databases pointing to the same forms database, you must copy the form licensing information to each application database, using FormSync.
