For example, assume that your company employs 100 software developers. If your developers use AccuRev every day to get their job done, you probably would want to get standard licenses which ensure that they will always be able to have access to AccuRev whenever they need it.
However, if your developers typically work on several other projects which may not be under AccuRev control, or if you have other employees such QA or documentation people who may only require occasional access to AccuRev, you may find flexible licenses are more cost-effective.
Rather than purchasing 100 standard licenses to accommodate every user who might ever require access to AccuRev-controlled files, you might instead purchase fewer flexible licenses that can be used as needed. The optimal number of licenses would, of course, need to be determined by you and your AccuRev representative, based on your specific work patterns and requirements.
