About Diver Platform and Solution 7.1 Licenses

Diver Platform 7.1 is the paid upgrade path for customers who want to use the Spectre engine, DiveTab, or Measure Factory. Diver Solution 7.1 is the free, standard software upgrade path for Diver Solution 7.0 customers on a maintenance plan. Users licenses differ depending on whether you use Diver Platform or Diver Solution.

NOTE: Some features, such as Input Tables, Measure Factory, and Help Desk, are licensed separately from your Diver Platform or Diver Solution license. Contact your Dimensional Insight sales representative for more information.

Diver Platform Licenses

User categories are defined for Diver Platform licensing. To use different client programs, a user can belong to multiple license categories. Each named user is in zero or more user categories.

Each category has a limited number of users, based on the number of licenses. If more users are assigned to the category than the license allows, excess users are denied access. Users that do not authenticate successfully are denied access and told to contact an administrator.

The user license types for Platform 7.1 are:

  • Developer—Grants access to Workbench and all Diver clients
  • ProDiver—Grants access to ProDiver, Broadcast, and DIAL
  • DivePort—Grants access to DivePort and NetDiver
  • DiveTab—Grants access to DiveTab for the iPad and PC
  • Help Desk—Grants access to Help Desk and DI-Config to manage user account changes without consuming a Developer license
  • ODBC—Grants access to DI-ODBC driver

Diver Solution Licenses

Diver Solution 7.1 maintains the tiered user licensing scheme that is used in Diver Solution 6.4, with the addition of a new tier called Developer. Different tiers give users access to different client programs. Each named user is in one tier only. If you assign more users to a tier than the license allows, the administrator sees a warning, and the last user assigned is disabled.

The tiered user types for Solution 7.1 are:

  • Developer—Grants access to Workbench and all Diver clients
  • Advanced—Grants access to ProDiver, DivePort, NetDiver, DI-Config, DI-Broadcast, DI-Scheduler, and DIAL
  • General—Grants access to DivePort, NetDiver, and DI-Config
  • Casual—Grants access to DivePort
