10.2

Starting with version 10.1, ADM becomes a commercial license (see License Module Assignment). It is cheap compared to other payable license modules.

Customers who have not purchased ADM should de-active it. If ADM is de-actived, the applications behave as in releases 8.1 to 10.0.

If ADM is active, the applications will first try to get a seat of this license module for administration screens and the menu/dashboards of Smart Materials Classic and Smart Materials Web. This will happen, even though the previous license (if not ADM) would be valid for administration screens and menu/dashboards as well.

There are two more ADM specific behaviors:

  1. Deferred surrender: When entering an administration screen, the software will not return the previous seat before acquiring ADM. It will try to get ADM and if not available, it will stick with the license it already had before. If ADM can be retrieved, the previous license will be returned to the pool afterwards.

  2. Deferred license change: The same behavior is true for the menu/dashboards. Furthermore, in the menu/dashboards, the software will defer the license change for one minute. Let us assume the user comes from a BOM screen, where it had reserved an E&PI license. When the user goes to the menu and quickly calls another BOM screen, there will be no change in licenses. The objective is, that user saves time requesting a new license when opening the next BOM screen. If the user returns to the menu and stays there for a while, the application will return E&PI and acquire an ADM license. The objective here is to save money for the customer because ADM licenses are relatively cheap.

Overlaps: If by chance a user re-enters the BOM screen exactly at the same time when ADM is requested for the menu/dashboard in the background, it can happen that the user has two licenses (ADM and E&PI) until the cleanup job runs the next scheduled time.
Similar, if a user is in the menu/dashboard and leaves the application when an ADM seat is requested for the menu/dashboard. Now, the previous seat (for example, E&PI) will be returned but ADM waits to be surrendered through the next run of the cleanup job.
