Replication server license requirements differ depending on whether you use the older proprietry named “keys.txt” license manager or the newer standard/flexible “accurev.lic” license manager (see the
License Management chapter for more details).
With named licenses, an AccuRev license enables your organization to maintain a single data repository, managed by a single AccuRev Server process running on a particular machine. This license also enables a certain number of users to access the repository with AccuRev client software.
The most obvious (and easiest) way to add replication to this environment is to have the existing server machine become the master server. Let’s say that you want to replicate the repository at two remote sites — one with 10 client users, the other with 25 client users. In this case, your organization might purchase:
With standard/flexible licensing, AccuRev replica servers require no special license administration: license checking for the replica servers takes place on the master server automatically.
See Replication Server Licenses on page 107 of the
License Management chapter for information about calculating numbers of license required by replica servers.
