License changes
Beginning with release 2013, the Meridian Enterprise license model has been simplified. All Meridian clients are now authorized by PowerUser Client licenses. One PowerUser Client license and one Database Connection license that is necessary to use it can be purchased as a single license named the Meridian Classic User license. However, the Meridian Classic User licenses do not appear as such on the Licenses tab in Meridian Enterprise Administrator. Instead, the corresponding PowerUser Client licenses and Database Connection licenses will be shown. Each PowerUser Client license entitles the user to use any Meridian client application. This same license is claimed and released by the PowerUser, Office Client, Web Access, AutoVue 2D, Application Integration, the application links, and the BlueCielo Web Part for SharePoint. Beside Meridian Classic User licenses, no additional client licenses must be purchased except for the optional module licenses and AutoVue 3D licenses, which have not changed. As before, any combination of client software components can be deployed to any number of users as the organization requires. The licenses are still floating and are claimed on a first-come, first-served basis unless licenses are reserved for specific user groups.
Existing TeamWork customers will receive an equivalent number of Meridian Classic User licenses with full access to all Meridian functionality such as: multiple vaults, 64-bit server, add-on modules, and other major functional enhancements. Customers may upgrade the software at their convenience. The TeamWork brand is being discontinued and TeamWork licenses will no longer be sold. Existing TeamWork installations will be supported under the normal support and life cycle conditions as described in "Product Life Cycle Support" in BlueCielo TeamWork Supported Software and in the following documents that are available from your BlueCielo Partner or on the BlueCielo extranet:
