The first license verification on logon is the general license check. General license check is done for application sessions as well as for non-application sessions. As the database contains a good portion of our business logic and Intergraph also considers the database design as an intellectual property, external connects are considered as a seat usage, too. Additionally, customers might create their own front-end applications to work against the Smart Materials database, and this kind of usage is also considered as a seat count. External connections are not prohibited, but the general license check prevents working in Smart Materials if the allowed number of overall sessions in the ISL keystores are crossed.

External connects are assigned to one license module that has free seats (see License Module Assignment).

Run Smart Materials in a dedicated database. If a Smart Materials database is shared with another application, the connections of the other application could get counted in the Smart Materials license count.

The charging of the seats happens during application logon when the general license check is executed. If the first module in the above list has no seats available, it proceeds with the next one. If none of the modules has seats available, the application exits, displaying the MAR-05005 message (see Error Messages).

Seats pulled for the application login are re-used. For example, if you logon to Smart Materials Classic it might have pulled a Site license, because this was the first module that had a seat available in the license pool. Then you were brought to the menu and it continues using the Site license (in case ADM is not active). If you open a Site screen now, it will keep the same Site seat from ISL.
