v15.1 - Where is EA-Lite?

[wivel]

Think I have read somewhere that EA Lite has been discontinued. The future for 'read-only' mode lies in WebEA and/or Prolaborate. An alternative, as has been suggested, is to use the full version and grant the viewers only read access. Bummer that we no longer have a low cost option for read only users.

Yes we've trialled / are trialling WebEA, which is very good, but does have the complication that you need to host it and give your customer access through your firewall etc. (or host in the cloud).  It also doesn't give the same level of feature access to the model as EA-Lite (e.g. more sophisticated search capability etc.), but the ability to leave reviews is a strong selling point for WebEA.

We are working towards using WebEA to provide view access to models to the business (clunky as they are).
We've set up a separate WebEA model "link" (e.g. MyModel - view only) which has a user/password configured in the model with no permissions.


Then we can send links out to model entities and when users click on them they go straight to the WebEA page with no visible login.


There are two technical problems with this

• this is not supposed to require a token, but I can't get it to work without one, I'm still waiting for a response from sales or support on this one)
• I have had php errors, all tokens being consumed, or unable to login loops, which I'm working with support on trying to diagnose (PM me if you want to know more)

WebEA always requires a token in the Token PCS license.

Ah yes, thank you, I'm getting confused with HTTP access
