License model Centix
Centix Online is a complete, flexible and customer-oriented Asset Management Software solution applicable in almost every branche. A software package naturally includes ‘users.’ Our licensing model consists of the principle of ‘view’ and ‘edit’ users.
You can read more about ‘view’ and ‘Edit’ users below.
‘Clear, fair and above all affordable licensing structure’
What is a user?
A user is a person who has access to Centix Online because he has: a username, password and a security role.
Depending on the assigned security role, a user has ‘view’ rights or ‘edit’ rights appropriate to his interests and/or activities.
In practice, the following applications are most common:
- A customer who can view the master data of their own ‘objects’ and download certificates or manuals via the Centix Mobile App or Centix Online.
- An employee who can view the master data of their own objects via the Centix Mobile App or Centix Online, who can download certificates or manuals or approve, move objects and many more functionalities.
- A third party in the form of a partner or supplier who can easily inspect, approve or move objects using the Centix Mobile App or Centix Online.
What is a 'view' user?
In Centix, a user’s security role is indicated as a ‘view’ or a ‘edit’ role. Especially for online customer portals , where the logged-in user can only view the condition, inspection certificate, or manual of an object, for example, a ‘view’ user is often used. An unlimited number of these so-called ‘view’ users can be created.
When these are all ‘simultaneously logged in’ in Centix, it costs you nothing , they are not included in the concurrent user analysis.
What is a 'edit' user?
In Centix, a user’s security role is indicated as a ‘view’ or an ‘edit’ role. Different from the ‘view’ users are the ‘edit’ users. These are users who work in Centix Online and who make changes. This puts a load on the system. An unlimited number of these so-called ‘edit’ users can be created in Centix.
Can all these ‘edit’ users log into Centix ‘simultaneously’? Yes, they can, because we think it is essential that our customers can continue with their work anytime and anywhere.
At Centix, we agree with our customers on how many ‘simultaneous edit user licenses’ will be purchased. Every quarter, together with the customer, it is examined whether the monthly analyzes lead to an increase or decrease in the number of user licenses required.
Concurrency of users
As mentioned, Centix Online works with simultaneous edit users, also called concurrent users in computer language. We look at the number of change users logged in simultaneously at a given moment.
The number of user licenses compared to the number of users created is very low in an average Centix Online environment. This is partly because we only count the logged-in users, the apps mainly work offline, and the number of ‘change’ users is relatively low compared to the entire organization. As a result, the number of licenses remains very low and, therefore, affordable.
Measuring concurrency
Centix Online logs from when to when a user has been in Centix Online. In the Centix environment, this information can be seen in a graph and a detailed overview. If a user does not actively log out of the Centix environment, there is a default session time after which the user is automatically logged out.
In addition, Centix has several apps. Some Centix apps have full or partial offline functionality. Because we only look at the number of simultaneous change users in Centix Online, it can easily be the case that, for example, a technician with a Centix work order app only processes data twice a day in the Centix Online environment. The system is only minimally loaded by these two synchronization moments so that the concurrency of the use with the Apps is very low.
