12.4 Link Licensing
12.4.1 Per User Link Licensing
Some TC/Links are licensed per user, such as:
TC/LINK-LN
TC/LINK-MX
12.4.2 Business Application Integration Link Licensing
TC/Link-SC, TC/Link-SC7 and TC/Link-AC use a special form of per instance Licensing. First of all you
need a license for every workstation on which a TC/Link-SC is running. Then, for every 3 instances of
TC/Link-SC which are running on the same workstation, you need one TC/Link-SC license. Exactly the
same licensing rules apply to TC/Link-SC7.
In the following example you see one TCOSS with 3 TC/Link-SC7 licenses. On PC1 we have 4 instances of
TC/Link-SC7 installed, on PC2 and PC3 one instance of this link is installed. The 4 TC/Link-SC instances
on PC1 consume 2 licenses because every 3 instances on a workstation consume 1 license. The TC/Link-
SC7 on PC2 uses the third license. Therefore there is no license left for the TC/Link-SC7 on PC3 to log in
to the TCOSS server.

licenses
Computer 1
First TC/LINK-SC7 uses license SC7-1
Second TC/LINK-SC7 uses license SC7-1
Third TC/LINK-SC7 uses license SC7-1
Fourth TC/LINK-SC7 uses license SC7-2
Computer 2 TC/LINK-SC7 uses license SC7-3
Computer 3 No license left. Login not possible
12.4.3 Other Link Licenses
All other TC/Links (e.g. TC/Link-FI, TC/Link- MD…) are licensed per workstation. For every workstation hosting
one or more instances of a certain TC/Link you need one license of that TC/Link. And it does not affect this rule
if a TC/Link is installed on a KCS Link server or on any other hardware.
