Event Definition Modular Licensing
Modular licensing lets you purchase only those Vantage features you need to manage your environment. Licensing is broken into five areas as described below.
Remote Access
You can license the number of resources that permit remote console access. If a resource is not configured for remote access the console data can only be viewed from the Consolidation Point display.
Console Logging
All characters displayed to a resource console can be logged. You can decide if this Console logging is needed.
Unlimited Events
You can choose this option if resources need unlimited event detection and event response functions. You can define as many events as required.
Pooled Events
If only a limited number of events are needed then you can license a pool of events that all resources can share.
Vantage-To-Vantage
If you need Vantage peer-to-peer control you can license the workstation accordingly.
Vantage Dialogs will have additional menus and controls if you're using Modular Licensing. These dialogs are displayed and explained in the following text. Refer to an underlined topic below to get more information.
