Hello,

 

We have our Windchill instance where we have lots of groups created inline to our Business needs in 10.2 and now we are upgrading to Windchill 12.

 

We are considering mapping license groups to this Business groups, but we have a situation where few users are present in multiple groups. Like there is a user A who is part of Group1 & Group2 both due to Business need. Now if we assign the Group 1 & Group 2 both with PTC PDMLink License will the user A account for one license or 2 licenses of PTC PDMLink?

 

Regards,

Amar

Windchill user licenses are named user licenses. User A is only 1 person, so they can be in in multiple groups but only consume 1 license.

We have 2 separate Windchill systems and we only have allocated in our licensing 1 license for user ABC, even though he may on 2 different Windchill systems.

Hi @amar_karthi 

It should be shown as one license is consumed even the user is assigned in multiple groups and the groups are assigned to one license group. 

 

Just try it and you will see.
