Designer licenses grant named individual users right to use either QPR ProcessGuide or QPR ScoreCard depending on the license. The amount of purchased developer licenses must correspond to the amount of users who have been granted access to QPR ProcessGuide or QPR ScoreCard Development Clients.
Viewer licenses grant individual users rights to browse information in QPR Portal. However, users with viewer licenses cannot neither input data to QPR Portal nor create bookmarks or some other personalized information. The amount of purchased viewer licenses must correspond to the amount of users who have been granted access to QPR Portal with View rights.
Communicator licenses grant individual users rights to utilize the full potential of QPR Portal by entering data into measures, creating actions, creating bookmarks as well as creating booklets. The amount of purchased full licenses must correspond to the amount of users who have been granted access to QPR Portal with Update rights or greater. Note that in the case the amount of users needing Portal viewer licenses exceeds the amount of purchased Portal viewer licenses, also Portal full licenses can be used for these users providing that there are spare Portal full licenses. However, the aforementioned substitution is not possible the other way around, i.e. spare Portal viewer licenses cannot cover missing Portal full licenses.
Each server license gives the right to install one copy of each included server component. The components may be located on different computers as well.
See the tables below for information about how these licenses correspond with QPR User Management Server settings and what kind of usage the different licenses allow:

Limitations and Issues to Note
• | Users with View rights to QPR Portal cannot input data to Processes/Scorecards tabs even though they would have Administrative rights to QPR ProcessGuide and/or QPR ScoreCard. |
• | At least View rights (and thus a Viewer license) are required in order to use the QPR Portal, i.e. ProcessGuide/ScoreCard Web Client rights alone are not sufficient. |
• | Granting a user access to QPR ProcessGuide or QPR ScoreCard Web Client does not affect the amount of reserved QPR ProcessGuide/QPR ScoreCard Developer Licenses. |
