All stories (0-3) comprise this first release. It includes the internet keys (permanent, timed, and rental) for Windows desktops and android phone support. This is in fact the bulk of the product. Pieces that may be left out for this release are some reporting (some are critical like Rental reports). It does not require one time keys (ala' authorizations) or software keys (once a year authorization) for this release. We will be running in parallel with the Solo Server at this time and do not expect to physically turn the Solo Server off as we attempt to transition users. There will probably be some effort necessary to port existing users to the new system.
A rough count shows roughly 100 Earthwork 4D/Trackwork customers. I believe we will be rolling this out in parallel with the existing Solo server and in fact the Solo server will have to continue to exist for some time after due the software only keys that exist in the field.
Rough order
Core Implementation - SmartDirt Release
Windows C API Release
A site license is designed to propagate mobile apps further into companies by removing the barriers to anybody who needs the products in that company. The customer buys a site license rather than individual apps and in return has that products for his site (office) with the only limits being total users per company. There are likely two parts to this, an update to mobile products and a server update with provisioning software changes.
None of this set in stone because decisions on how to best implement on the server are to be determined. The provisioning method also factors in.
First thought is to have a flag on the company similar to AGTEK Access & Tracking that enables a SmartPlan, SmartTrack, or SmartDirt license ( I don't see us doing RTK under Site license at this point). The mobile apps would likely need to be updated to understand this change and bypass the key selection page entirely when the flag is encountered. One small downside to this approach is future site license types would have to be added as they occur however I don't anticipate many others.
Second though is to create a site license product code that when placed on a key essentially creates a site license for those key codes. The benefit would be that essentially any software that had been enabled to support site licenses could be used. The downside would be inadvertent provisioning with the key code (don't know if it's ever happened) has far more cost.
I'm imagining that any app that sees a matching site license indication bypasses the key selection screen entirely and goes directly to files or tracks.
