Model 2 Licenses

Model 2 licenses are the form of license provided for Micro Focus Server. In versions before 5.0, they were provided for some Application Servers. If you have Model 2 licenses from an earlier product, you can continue to use them with Micro Focus Server.

There are three types of Model 2 licenses:

• User license. This licenses one or more named individuals (authorized users) to use Application Server or Micro Focus Server.
• Server license (concurrent users). This licenses a number of users. This number is the maximum number of users that can access Application Server or Micro Focus Server concurrently.
• Server license (CPU). This licenses a number of processors (CPUs). This number is the maximum number of processors that can access Application Server or Micro Focus Server concurrently.

Example (1): a server license for five concurrent users allows five users to run applications concurrently under Micro Focus Server with or without Enterprise Server.

Example (2): a CPU server license for ten CPUs allows ten CPUs to run applications concurrently under Micro Focus Server with or without Enterprise Server and the Mainframe Transaction Option.

User licenses and server licenses (concurrent users) support a specific number of users at a time, whereas a server license (CPU) supports an unlimited number of users on a single server.
