Licensing
Licences for the The Genius Application Suite are based on a machine/processor
model. The standard term is 99 years.
Every installation is required to have at least one Genius Suite licence.
Subsequent licences may be for Genius Suite or Genius Client depending upon
customer user requirements.
Deployment licences can be purchased where Genius applications must be deployed
to remote sites.
Typical installations:
-
A secure production server running business critical Genius applications
(Billing, Payroll, Production Tracking etc.) under a deployment licence, with
development and maintenance implemented on a separate network node under a
Genius Suite licence.
-
Genius Suite installed on the Administrator’s workstation with multiple network
nodes running Genius Client, giving staff and management interactive access to
operational data from one or more enterprise database servers.
-
As in 1, but with remote sites running client processes under deployment
licences and exchanging data with the the central production server.
RapidGen Software Limited can tailor licences to meet individual customer needs
and to optimise costs but in general terms, a set number of users on a specific
machine are licensed to use the Genius Application Suite so that applications
can be developed. Most users (who may be on different platforms) will be
licensed to use a sub-set of the Suite (the Genius Client), for day to day
business information services.
Licences can be purchased across platforms and operating systems giving
Genius immense flexibility to deliver information throughout the enterprise.
