Cloud Licence - Allow single GSID to consume multiple licences

[scottjm]

Another Cloud licence request.

Previously with Codemeter as the licences were just floating on the network, if I needed to open up archicad on my desktop and laptop at the same time, that was fine. It just consumed two of the available licences.

Now however, if I want to do that, I need to be logged in to unique graphisoft IDs on each device which is really frustrating. 

My request is to permit a single graphisoftID to consume multiple floating licences at the same time.  So if I have 10 licences available, 2 would be consumed, and 8 would be left available.  It just means I can be logged in to the same graphisoftID on both computers.

To be clear - this does not mean trying to cheat the system and use the same licence on two computers at the same time, each device would still consume a separate licence.

We currently use Foxit PDF Editor, and this is how this feature is handled by them..

Thanks,

Scott

100% agree.

While we haven't moved to cloud licences yet, we're already faced with a similar issue with placeholder BIMcloud accounts for spare computers and computers in meeting rooms.  That makes sense as BIMcloud has to track who has what reserved, but having additional placeholder GSIDs just adds another layer of confusion.  It also would result in weak passwords being used and shared widely for those accounts, paired with BIMcloud SaaS it starts to be a security risk.
