How is TotalNET Advanced Server Licensed?
First of all, TotalNET Advanced Server is licensed by the seat. These
seats are authorized as part of what we call a “license pool”. A
license pool consists of a group of licensed TAS clients that need to
access one or more TAS licensed servers. Each server and each client is
licensed only one time.
TAS
licensing has three components:
TAS Base Server:
This
can be a single standalone server or the first server in the pool. It includes 25 built-in seat licenses.
This server is essentially the license server for the pool. in that the number of
licensed TAS users on it defines the number of licensed TAS users in the pool.

Additional Servers:
These are the other servers accessed by the licensed TAS users in a
pool. These servers do not have their own TAS client connection
licenses. Instead, they inherit the licensed TAS users from the base
server. So, if a Base Server is licensed for 100 users, each of these
servers is licensed for the same 100
users to access them. Each connection to a
server in the pool counts as a connection against the 100 licensed TAS
users on that server. So one person simultaneously connected to 4
servers counts as 1 connection of 100 on each server, not four from the
100 licensed connections in the pool.

Additional Client
Connections:
If you need more than 25 licensed users, you would purchase additional
Client Connections in packs of 25, 50 or 100 Client Connections. Every
server in the pool would be licensed to the total number of purchased
TAS licenses. So, if you have four servers in a pool in which you have
purchased 100 user licenses, you would have 100 users on each of the
four server.
Any
additional servers purchased for the pool would be automatically
licensed to the current level of users without additional investment in
client connections. In turn any additional users purchased to the pool
would initiate new licenses for all servers in the pool.

In
a ClearCase installation, we provide 50% more licenses than purchased to
take in account for the additional connections that a ClearCase user
spawns off when they initiate their log-on. These are provided free of
charge in order to facilitate a greater number of simultaneous ClearCase
user logons. You are not charged for these "bonus" connections during
your initial purchase or when your CustomerCare is renewed. However,
these are not considered additional users because they were not
purchased. If you need to accommodate more than 15 ClearCase developers,
you would need to purchase more TAS licenses. They too would receive
bonus connections.
