Hi
I want to know whetehr in corporate edition how many users can work at the same time? Also is it possible to access EA via internet or remote login

Hi,
Every license is for single user. If you want to have 3 people using EA at the same time you have to buy 3 licenses.

EA Corporate is standalone (for the given computer).

EA Corporate Floating is for different users (different computers), but cannot be used at the same time.

So there is nothing as such as single application with multiple user access..........?

If you are asking whether several (separately licensed) users can access the same model simultaneously, then the answer is yes.

You can use a database - repository in EA terminology - to store the model. You can then have as many users as your database system will permit. They can work concurrently.

From an EA licensing point of view, each 'seat' must be licensed, and each simultaneous user is another seat.

The floating license edition of EA will allow you to move the authorizations around. In this case you might have, for example, a dozen users who need EA occasionally, but not all at once. At any given time perhaps half of them will need to have EA available. The floating license will let these users be authorized. As each one finishes using EA for a while - perhaps the end of a specific project phase - that license would be returned to the 'pool' of available licenses. When another user needed to have access to EA for a while a license would be authorized from the pool.

There's information in the EA help and in the Resources section of the Sparx Web site.

Hello Ameetn,

I would suggest you have a read over the whitepaper on the Deployment of EA - accessible from:
http://www.sparxsystems.com.au/resources/whitepapers/index.html
This covers using EA in a multi-user, multi-site environment across a LAN/WAN and possible DBMS access.
