Minimizing license costs for multiple users

Hi all,
I am investigating having multiple users (from different companies) share access to 1 Business One client but have multiple databases (representing each company) connected to this one client. They would connect via Citrix, Terminal Server etc. and also via a portal interface from http://www.unitedplanet.com/en/sbo.
In this way the different companies (and their employees) could cut license costs by sharing the license costs of the "one" client installation. Does anyone knowledgeable about licenses know if this would work or have experience doing this? What about controlling which databases each user could select through roles and authorization. What about tracking what each user was doing in the system. Because if all users shared the same license would there be a way to trace what each user did in the system and better yet, control their authorizations?
Thanks!
Kw

Hi K Herb
Trying to get around SAP Business One licenses is not advisable. I would rather find a cheaper software package if a customer cannot afford SAP software. The licensing is central to all databases and your model would not work. Have you considered looking at the limited financial and limited logistic users which are far cheaper than a full professional license?
The most important part of each physical person having a user license is to control who posted what and when. If you used a single user code, this would be impossible as SAP Business One does not record MAC ID's, machine ID's, etc. of client connections. So to answer your question, this will be a problem and the "fraud" door would be wide open.
Some background on why you are investigating ways around licensing would help us better direct you.
Kind regards

How to make Adobe acrobat feature to convert SAP Pages to PDF available for multiple users connected to the same Citrix server

Hi,
In my previous endeavours to solve this business requirement where multiple users will be able to use the Adobe acrobat feature to convert SAP pages inside SAP to PDF, I was told that it is not possible to do this for multiple users at the same time. However I have found an article according to which it says it is possible. Could you check it once and let me know if this article can be used for implementing the requirement stated above as this link clearly indicates that Adobe Acrobat is supported on Citrix.
Please find the link below where it states it is adobe acrobat is supported in Citrix for multiple users.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/AdminGuide/citrix.html.

1. What is the Acrobat feature that you mean? There's nothing specific to SAP included with Acrobat.
2. Yes, some Terminal Server configurations appear supported (check carefully). All users of the terminal server will need a license, so far as I know - total licenses = total individual people using.

How to edit "license information for multiple logon" screen

hey gurus
i need to know how to edit or modify the 'license information for multiple logon" screen. this screen usually pops up when a user tries for a multiple logon to sap. We have activated the parameter 'login/disable_multi_gui_login' but we would like to modify the screen in such a way that only one radio button which says 'terminate this logon' should exist. we would prefer to remove the option of 'continue with this option and end any other logon'. Now i searched but i could not find anything to implement this so i am here and i need your advice and suggestions.
thanks in advance.
cheers.
nate

hey bernhard

Is there any other note that specifically say so?
thanks for your time buddy.

and why would you want to do that?
does your contract with SAP say, that you may use multiple logins for free? would SAP's contract-issue department agree that -in your case- it's not necessary to record multiple logins?
have you read this part of the SAP license policy?
SAP gives express notice that the accessing of a system by more
than one person using one and the same named user constitutes
a breach.
tell me this does not apply to you ...

How to use the same POWL query for multiple users

Hello,
I have defined a POWL query which executes properly. But if I map the same POWL query to 2 portal users and the 2 portal users try to access the same page simultaneously then it gives an error message to one of the users that
"Query 'ABC' is already open in another session."
where 'ABC' is the query name.
Can you please tell me how to use the same POWL query for multiple users ?
A fast reply would be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,

Batch processing usually involves using actions you have recorded. In Action you can insert Path that can be used during processing documents. Path have some size so you may want to only process document that have the same size. Look in the Actions Palette fly-out menu for insert path. It inserts|records the current document work path into the action being worked on and when the action is played it inserts the path into the document as the current work path..

Can we creat an Apple ID for multiple users?

I work for a company where we are rolling out iPads in big amounts. The problem is that they all need an Apple ID in the training they get about the iPad they receive because they have to install MobiControl on it.
It's no problem to let them create an Apple ID at home, but they have to fill in credit card numbers once they connect at work when they try to install apps. That's the problem... Not everyone want's or has credit cards...
Maybe it's possible to create an Apple ID for multiple users???
Thanks!

You may find a better answer in this part of the forum, since it's meant for situations like you're in.
http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/
is also info about apple ID's.
You can make apple ID's without a credit card, you just have to jump through a couple of hoops to do it since the default is that people will always give a credit card. The key to making an ID without a credit card is that you try to download a free app first, then follow the 'make an ID' prompt. That will get you the 'none' option for payment.

Can I use one itunes account for multiple users and multiple devices

Can I use one itunes account for multiple users and multiple devices?

The iTunes EULA, as I understand it (I'm not an attorney )for Apps is basically that one person can use an App multiple devices, or multiple people can use an App one device..so one to many or many to one, but not many to many....

Can i install itunes multiple times on one computer for multiple users?

Can i install itunes multiple times on one computer for multiple users?

Like most applications you only need to install it once for it to be available to all users. (That said it is possible to install an application and only make it available to the current user, but that's rarely needed.)

Triggering a sub work flow for multiple users at same time.

I have a scenario in which I have created sub workflow as an activity for approval process. This sub work flow should be triggered for multiple users at the same time and their decison is independent of each other.
This is like creating multipe instance of the same sub work flow and then the sub work flow runs indepedently as a new work flow for each of the approver and the process is completeded for approver independently.
How can this be achieved?

Tyr to do like this,
1. First include the subworkflow in the main workflow template.
2. Now include standard Block Step in the main workflow template.
3. In the block select the block type as ParForEach.
4. Before doing the 3rd point make sure that all the agents for whom you want whom you want to initiate the workflow, populate them in a Multiline conatiner element.
5. Once completing 3rd and 4th points open the block step under the tab ParallelProcessing assign the multiline container element name in the for e;g if the multi line container element name is COSTCENTER then do the binding like below. the conatiner element COSTCENTERLINE is created by default once you include the multi line conatiner element under parller processing tab.
&COSTCENTER[&_WF_PARFOREACH_INDEX&]& --------> &_COSTCENTER_LINE&
Now assign the agent of the subworkflow as COSTCENTERLINE , imean if suppose you have 3 entries in the internal table then three separate and for three different agents the workflow is instantiated.

Setting up accounts for multiple users

Suggestions for allowing multiple users to access one account to avoid having to reimburse folks for every download on their work iPads?

short answer, no. Mail.app does not have support within itself for multiple user accounts. It displays the messages from the mailboxes of the user that is currently logged in. so if you want multiple people to read their mail on the same mac without being able to read other users' mail, you will need to set up multiple user accounts. alternatively, use another client. i think thunderbird supports multiple mail accounts under the same user account. hope this helps.

Is there a way for multiple users to connect to my home sharing with their iOS device to select music to stream to my A/V receiver jukebox style?

I have an A/V receiver that I can connect to and select music to stream over my network but I want to know if I have a party if it's possible for multiple users to have access on their own devices to my home shared music and select music to play like a jukebox.

I almost forgot that using folders can allow each folder to contain a song. I also recall touch tracks or one key play...

Send Mail to External Mail ID's for Multiple Users

Hi All,
I want to send mail from SAP to External mail ID's for multiple Users.The program is ok.
But I want to send this to Multiple external Mail id's. Where should I assign this receivers list. Pls advise.
What is the transaction to assign multiple receivers.?
CALL FUNCTION 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1'
      EXPORTING
        DOCUMENT_DATA              = GD_DOC_DATA

        COMMIT_WORK                = ''
      TABLES
        PACKING_LIST               = IT_PACKING_LIST
        CONTENTS_TXT               = IT_MESSAGE

        OTHERS                     = 8.
Thank You.
Pranitha.

IT_RECEIVERS parameters needs to be passed as shown below.
    wa_receivers-receiver = "..........External mail id".
    wa_receivers-rec_type = 'U'.
    wa_receivers-express = 'X'.
    APPEND wa_receivers TO lt_receivers.
    CLEAR wa_receivers.
Once mail is triggered to the external mail id's, check the mail is transferred from SAP or not using the tcode SCOT.
In SCOT,follow the path UTILITIES-> Overview of send orders.

How can I create a folders of apps for multiple users?

I use several iPads with my students and would like to set up a folder for each student. I want to place "an alias" of each app the student uses in their folder. On my Mac, I can "make alias" and place aliases in seperate folders. How can I do that on my iPad? Thanks!

You can drag one app on top of another and make a folder. However the limit to this is, for your situation, there can be no sharing of apps....the app Fred can only be in one folder because it's only on the device once. (so it may not work for what you need)
and I cannot recall if you can edit the name of the folder.
Unfortunately, for situations like yours, the iPad was created to be a single user device, so there's really not support for multiple users or multiple levels of access.
