Licensing

  award The Licensing tab relates to how CM4D applications interact with the licensing server. This section does not manage the licenses themselves. Licenses for CM4D applications are managed using the ATS Licensing Server plugin. The CM4D Configuration plugin only contains settings pertaining to the frequency with which the Licensing Server is pinged by CM4D applications attempting to obtain concurrent user licenses.

Heartbeat Rate

The process for acquiring a license is triggered when a user logs into the CM4D Upload Portal. As long as an available license is present, the user can operate the CM4D Upload Portal.

The CM4D Configuration plugin maintains a heartbeat, which is a periodic check that determines if a license obtained by a user is still in use. The ATS Licensing Server will not assign the license to another user until the current user is confirmed by the heartbeat to be disconnected.

Heartbeat Rate The frequency at which the CM4D application interacts with the licensing server to check the current license status. The value represents milliseconds. A value is required in this field; defaults to 60000ms (1 minute).
