NOTE |
· The Panopticon Visualization Server supports different user roles which check out different numbers of Altair Units.
· Alerts and scheduled tasks are leveled towards each other. Regardless of the number of alerts or scheduled tasks a user creates, only two Altair Units licenses will be checked out. · These units are separate from the units that are checked out for a user of the server. For example, if a user is logged on to the server (two units) and starts an alert (two units), a total of four units are checked out. If the user then starts two more alerts and a scheduled task, the total number of checked out units will still be four. If the user logs out without shutting off any alerts, two units will remain checked out. · Two products (e.g., Panopticon Visualization Server and Panopticon Streams) or two instances of one product, must not be configured to use Altair Units licensing if they run on the same Tomcat.
