   NOTE

·         Panopticon Streams Server supports different user roles which check out different numbers of Altair Units.

Role

Altair Units License Draw

Designer

21

Administrator

2

·         Logging in to both Panopticon Real Time and Panopticon Streams Server with the same username levels the unit draw. A total of 21 units are drawn even if the user logs in to both servers.

·         Running applications are leveled towards the user who started the application.

For example, a user can run 10 Streams applications while also being logged in as an Administrator and the total unit draw will only be 21. For the 11th application the total draw will be 22. After this, units will increase by 2 for each additional application. For the 12th application, the total draw will be 24.
