Activity Forums Square Box CatDV difference between client license and web session licenses

  • difference between client license and web session licenses

    Posted by Carla Vidal on May 27, 2013 at 9:53 am

    Hi,

    I have some doubts regarding license clients, web sessions and users.

    I would like to know the differences between a CatDV machine with its client license and a web session license. Does it have to do with permissions? Is it necessary to install CatDV software in a web client or just get the license activated?

    Does each ‘license’ equals a single user?

    Does always have to be the same machine for the same web client session or is it exchangeable day after day?

    Thank you very much for the response,

    Regards

    Web Clients are concurrent meaning that 100 people can have an account but if you only have 5 web “seats”, you can only have 5 people connect at one time.

    CatDV Pro client licenses are licensed to the machine like FCP or Avid. You get 5 copies of CatDV Pro and those can live on 5 computers. They are not concurrent so the software should not be installed on more than 5 computers.

    The Web Client can search, view proxy, (not hires) and can edit metadata and add markers. It is limited compared to the CatDV client which can ingest clips, handle all sorts of hires footage (including MXF) and manipulate files with moves and copies etc.
