Do we need a seperate Thingworx Navigate license for the windchill users if we already used windchill auth in the OData connector for connevtivity
Solved! Go to Solution.
Yes, these are all windchill users, we have done the Navigate and windchill integration using windchill authentication and what i remember is i have just added few users in the navigate_view_named_group and navigate_contribute_concurrent_group groups which was already available in Navigate. I don't think so we purchased any separate navigate license for these users.
only thing is when we create new user in windchill LDAP, that user must be first login into windchill after that only he/she can login to Navigate landing page.
am i did right.?
Elaborate. Is this a Windchill user accessing Windchill via thingworx navigate?

Hi,
Navigate View / Navigate Contribute licenses are not included in the Windchill licenses (Base / Adv/Premium).
More over, if you develop custom Navigate Apps, then each user of that will additionally require a Navigate Connected PLM license.
Hope this clarifies.

To expand on what @Hari_Vara wrote, Navigate licenses include the right to access Windchill directly and/or through the Navigate apps. If someone is assigned a Navigate license, the do not need any additional licenses to access Windchill directly. On the other hand, users who have been assigned regular Windchill licenses (other than Navigate licenses) are not allowed to use the Navigate apps, they must access Windchill directly.
