Licenses vs Capabilities Matrix
iGrafx provides two methods for defining user licenses and capabilities:
- User Extension Method (for customers using 17.1 or earlier)
- User License Method (for customers using 17.2 or later)
Customers upgrading to 17.2 can continue to use the User Extension Method if preferred.
To view your User License(s)
- Login to the iGrafx Platform
- Click your name in upper right corner of the Platform display
- Select the My Profile option
- In the right frame, choose the USER INFO tab
- See the License Assignment (User Licenses) or License Assignment (User Extensions) section
If your heading says License Assignment (User Extensions) then your capabilities are defined by the User Extension Method.
If you have multiple User Licenses assigned to you then you are granted the maximum, licensed capabilities.
