All About Licensing 1
What is a License?
A License is a unique login id or e-mail id using which a user with Admin, Analyst, or End User access can log into the SummitAI application.
Types of Licenses
Licenses can be of two types: Named and Concurrent.
Named Licenses
A unique login id/e-mail id with Analyst role is considered as a Named User license. The customers cannot create Analyst records in the SummitAI application beyond the number of licenses purchased.

Any number of Analysts can be created in the SummitAI application.

If all the available Concurrent Analyst licenses are consumed at any point of time, an Analyst can still access the Application with End User access.

Inference
Case A | Consume from License Pool = FALSE | Example |
1 | The Analysts of Domain 1 can access a maximum of 4 Concurrent licenses. | Any 4 Analysts among A1 to A9 can log in or access the Application at a time. |
2 | The Analysts of Domain 2 and 3 can access the remaining 6 Concurrent licenses available in the "License Pool". | Any 6 Analysts among A10 to A17 can log in or access the Application at a time. |
Case B | Consume from License Pool = TRUE | Example |
1 | The Analysts of Domain 1 can utilize 4 Concurrent licenses allocated to them. However, if all the 4 licenses are consumed, the licenses available in the License Pool can be utilized by the Analysts of Domain 1. | Let's consider Analysts A1 to A4 have already logged into the Application. That means, 4 Concurrent licenses are already consumed. The other Analysts of Domain 1 can log in or access the Application by using the licenses available in the License Pool. |
2 | The Analysts of Domain 2 and 3 can access the Concurrent licenses available in the License Pool. | Analysts A10 to A17 can log in or access the Application based on the licenses available in the License Pool. |
Note:
Consume from license pool is a key in a configured file. The key can be set to True or False.
