Procedure for Installing a License Grant
This manual is in pilot operation.
|
To use fusion_place in accordance with the License Agreement, you must install a “License Grant” into the system every year by the start month of the License calculation year. In addition, if you change the number of Users during the License calculation year, installing a new “License Grant” is also required. For installing a “License Grant,” the following two files are exchanged between the customer and the distributor (Fusions Inc.) [1].
- Purchase Order File
-
This file is sent from the customer to the distributor (Fusions Inc.) or its agent. It contains details of the License Grant that the customer requests the distributor to create, including information related to usage conditions such as the System Key that identifies the target System, the number of Users, the start month and the number of months. Although it is called a “Purchase Order File,” this file must be created after completing the purchase (contract execution) and at each annual contract renewal.
- License Grant
-
This file is sent from the distributor or its agent to the customer. It contains authorization data that enables the customer to use the system in accordance with the License contents specified in the Purchase Order File.
An overview of the procedure for installing a License Grant using these two types of files is as follows.
(1) Sending the System Key (from October 2022 onward)
Send the System Key displayed in the License Management Dialog to the support desk of the distributor (or its agent).
(1) Creating and Sending the Purchase Order File (before October 2022)
First, create a Purchase Order File on the customer side (a mechanism for creation is provided in fusion_place). After creating the file, send it to the distributor (or its agent). The detailed steps are as follows.
-
Specify the usage conditions according to the instructions from the distributor.
-
Create the Purchase Order File based on the License contents above.
-
Send the file to the support desk of the distributor (or its agent).
After that, the distributor (or its agent) creates a License Grant based on the Purchase Order File and sends it to the customer.
(2) Installing the License Grant
Next, install the License Grant sent from the distributor into the system (a mechanism for this is also provided in fusion_place).
-
The distributor sends the License Grant.
-
Install the License Grant into the system. (→ Operation Manual “Install License Grant”)
With this, you can use the fusion_place system in accordance with the conditions of the contract you have concluded.
