Web Host License

This document explains how Collect!'s licensing scheme works with Web Host.

Every Collect! user license will give you an equivalent of two web users.

The Web Host Client Access option enables unlimited Client users. This feature is an optional extension module available in Collect! Version 11.4.3.1 and newer.

For example,

Single user license

Start Collect! and sign in as normal -- no web operators.

Start Web Host only -- you will be able to have 2 web operators.

Two user license

With no regular users signed into the database,

Start Web Host -- you will be able to have 4 web operators.

Start Collect!

One user signs in -- you still have 2 web operators.

Two users sign in -- No web operators.

Three user license

Start Web Host -- you will be able to have 6 web operators.

Start Collect!

One user signs in -- you still have 4 web operators.

Two users sign in -- you still have 2 web operators.

Three users sign in -- no web operators.

Four user license

Start Web Host -- you will be able to have 8 web operators.

Start Collect!

One user signs in -- you still have 6 web operators.

Two users sign in -- you still have 4 web operators.

Three users sign in -- you still have 2 web operators.

Fourth user signs in -- no web operators.

So, if everyone has signed in and everyone is working, whatever licenses you have left over can be doubled and that is how many users can log into Collect! using the Web Host. The Web Host itself counts as one user, but once it is started, you will be able to have 2 users log into Collect! from the Internet. For example, if you have a four user license and three users are signed into Collect!, you can use the fourth license to open the Web Host. Then, two operators can log in over the Internet.

Web Host Client Access

With Collect! Version 11.4.3.1 and newer, an optional module enables you to have unlimited client sign ons to your Web Host. With " Web Host Client Access" enabled, Collect! will only count normal users of your system when figuring how many users can sign into Collect!. Client users accessing the Web Host will not be counted when Collect! calculates the total number of your active Web Host and Collect! users signed on.

Web Host Client Access is an optional module available in Collect! Version 11.4.3.1 and newer.

This option is not available in the Entrepreneur edition.

No Web Host License

If you are operating Collect! with a license that does not include Web Host, you will receive a message when you try to sign into Collect! in Web Host mode.
