Understanding licensing types
BIRT iHub System licensing supports running BIRT iHub with sets of features grouped as license options. You enable BIRT iHub System options using one or more of the following types of license models:
*CPU Core
Specifies the maximum number of CPU Cores that BIRT iHub System can use. Any number of users can access the licensed options on the system provided adequate licensing and capacity exists.
*Work Unit (WU)
Specifies BIRT iHub features and functionality using an aggregate model. This plan defines each BIRT iHub System resource as a work unit.
Similar to CPU Core licensing, but defined at a more granular level. With Work Unit Licensing, the customer can license just the precise amount of capacity needed for application requirements. Any number of users can access the licensed options provided sufficient capacity has been purchased.
In CPU Core and Work Unit licensing, Actuate currently uses the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC) standard benchmark for measuring machine capacity to establish the value of iHub performance on any given system.
