Are module based licensing (MBL) customers required to enter into a license model transition (LMT) to business ready licensing (BRL) to become legally licensed?
No they are not. Customers with MBL licenses can order sufficient business portal employee or customer users before May 1st to cover their needs for the foreseeable future. After May 1st, additional customers who require additional BP users may do so from the Price List (at the same price as a DCO User). Additional full access users, being concurrent but more expensive, offer another alternative for multi-person use in some cases where the access is “direct”. No LMT is required. While it may be to the customer’s advantage to enter into an LMT for many reasons (additional BRL capabilities, availability of the DCO and external connector, etc.), it is not a requirement. Existing customers can license their current MBL situation under the software license terms (SLT) at the current BP user price before May 1st. Q: What if a customer has 5 full access users and licenses and one ISV’s solution. Do they need an additional 5 DCO (BRL customer) or 5 BP (MBL customer) users for the same 5 people
