Hi,

 

One of my customers wants to start using the Ardevia app (the Pro version) using perpetual user licenses.
I understand that a license is needed for each user who will edit the forms (not for viewing/using the forms). My question is about the scenario where Development and Test are done on different tenants.
If I read the notes on licensing correctly, then the scope of the license is limited to (the sites within) a tenant. Which makes sense, since you need to activate the App per tenant from the App store.

 

The Development tenant is a personal developer tenant based on an MSDN subscription. The Test tenant is a 'regular' O365 tenant.
Can you confirm that this means we need separate user licenses for Development and Test and Production tenants? I'm asking because the editing of forms on the Test tenant will mostly be done by the same people who edit forms on the Production tenant.

 

For example, suppose the following:
- there are four people editing forms, user A, B, C and D
- user A edits forms on his developer tenant
- user A and B edit forms on the Test tenant
- user B, C and D edit forms on the Production tenant

 

In this example I would need 6 user licenses, is that correct? Or is there some way to re-use the license across a Tenant if it's the same person editing the forms?

 

regards
Pascal

  Hi Pascal,
  the licensing of Rich Forms is based on the standard licensing of Microsoft. (How licenses work for Office and SharePoint Add-ins )
  Unfortunately we cannot change this right now. Each license is depending on a tenant and there the license needs to be assigned to a user.
  Ardevia is currently migrating to skybow (skybow solution accelerators fast SharePoint development ). Maybe we can provide a solution for such scenarios in the future with an independent licensing.

   

  best regards
  Matt
