License management

License modules

Infor Mongoose includes license modules that allow users to access specific forms, IDOs, and other resources in the application. For example, there are license modules that control access to administrative forms, DataView forms, user-created forms, App Builder and App Hub forms, and so on.

License document

If your product installation is on-premises, you must have a license document to apply your licenses to the application. Infor provides this document in the form of a *.txt file when you purchase an Infor product. The file contains, in an encrypted format, all the information that is required to apply your licenses to each application database. You must determine which license modules you require, and how many licenses you require for each module, before the license document can be provided.

Tokens

Each module that you purchase has a certain number of tokens available for users to consume, based on the number of user licenses that you purchased for that module. Generally, each user who logs in to Mongoose consumes one or more tokens. License tokens are consumed when a user logs into the system. The tokens are released when the user logs out.

Session types

Mongoose allows named and concurrent licensing based on session type. Among other benefits, this feature allows named users to be logged in multiple times using different types of sessions, but only consume license modules for the appropriate type of session.
