Josh Thompson updated VCL-216:
------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 2.4)
> seat licensing - user group based SW licensing
> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: VCL-216
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL-216
> Project: VCL
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: database, web gui (frontend)
> Affects Versions: 2.2
> Reporter: Aaron Peeler
>
> Allow one image to be used between different user groups, that have different
> concurrent license counts.
> ---
> Say there is image Timesink that has been created and has
> four concurrent licenses owned by group A.
> Now group B needs to use Timesink and buys two additional
> concurrent licenses.
> Currently it seems that we'd end up with two images of Timesink
> one available to group A with up to 4 concurrent instances and
> the other available to group B with up to 2 concurrent instances.
> It would be nice if the scheduler could understand that really
> they are the same image - so that if a copy of the image were
> loaded and someone from either group A or B made a reservation
> they could use the image and the scheduler would deduct
> the available number of concurrent uses from the correct pool.
> In practice Group B would need to know that Timesink image
> exists. VCL would need to provide a way for metadata to have
> more granular license information.
