b. Client Software. You may only use the client software with the ERP solution. You may install an unlimited number of copies of the client software to access your ERP solution. The client software may be used only by the number of licensed users that your license key permits.

c. Additional ERP Components. Licenses for additional software that may be required for the solution – such as Microsoft Windows Server, Microsoft SQL Server, and Microsoft SharePoint Server – and their corresponding Client Access Licenses (CALs) are not included with the Kenek VISIONPayroll licenses.  They must be acquired separately in accordance with the applicable licensing requirements for these products. 

4. TYPES OF USER LICENSES. Except as otherwise specified, the types of user licenses for the software are as follows:

a. Access Licenses (CALs and SALs). In addition to the server software license, you must acquire and assign an Access License to each user that accesses the ERP solution directly or indirectly. You need an Access License for each user that directly or indirectly accesses the ERP solution through a third party application. Access licenses are specific to an ERP solution and may not be used with or shared among different ERP solutions.

 

Types of CALs. There are two types of CALs: Full CALs and Limited CALs.

· A “Full CAL” is a license that entitles a user to perform the tasks of a Full User, as described in the Kenek VISIONPayroll Perpetual License Functionality document located on SerenicSource.

· “Limited CAL” is a license that entitles a user to perform only the tasks of a Limited User, as described in theKenek VISIONPayroll Perpetual License Functionality document located on SerenicSource.

 

Types of SALs. There are three types of SALs: Standard SALs, Extended Use Additive SALs, and Limited SALs.

· A “Standard SAL” is a base SAL license that entitles a user to perform Full User tasks across the ERP Solution using all of the functionality included in the Starter Pack, as described in the Kenek VISIONPayroll Subscription License Functionality document located on SerenicSource.

· An “Extended Use Additive SAL” is a license, additive to the Standard SAL that entitles a user to perform Full User tasks using the functionality included in the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Extended Pack, as described in the Kenek VISIONPayroll Subscription License Functionality document located on SerenicSource.

· “Limited SAL” is a license that entitles a user to perform only the tasks of a Limited User.

 

b. “Concurrent CALs” are licenses that allow any user to access the ERP solution. The number of concurrent CALs licensed refers to the maximum number of users that may access the ERP solution simultaneously. You may select the Full CAL or Limited CAL as concurrent CAL types. Concurrent CALs can only be licensed under the Perpetual License Model.

c. “User SALs” are licenses that are specific to each user and may not be shared with other users. You may select the Standard SAL, the Extended Use Additive SAL, or the Limited SAL as user SAL types. If you select the Extended Use Additive SAL, you must license Extended Use Additive SALs for all Standard SALs. The Limited SAL grants access to the same set of functionalities that are available to users performing Full User tasks, subject to the restrictions listed in the Limited User definition. You are granted, at no charge, two SALs of the same type used by your Full Users: one specifically for an External Accountant User, and one specifically for a System Administrator User. You may permanently reassign your user SAL from one user to another. You may temporarily reassign your user SAL to a temporary user while the permanent user is absent. The External Accountant User and the System Administrator User cannot be used for any other purposes. User SALs can only be licensed under the Subscription License Model.

d. “External Users”.  You do not need Access Licenses for external users. External users must be designated in the user table for Kenek VISIONPayroll, and cannot use any clients provided by the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Application Programming Interface (API), such as the Microsoft Windows client for Microsoft Dynamics NAV, the Web Client for Microsoft Dynamics NAV, or the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Portal framework for Microsoft SharePoint. External User licenses must not be used for business process outsourcing purposes.
