Hi
There is two type of licenses
Name Licenses and Concurrent Licenses
And you have have as many login name as you like if you have the Concurrent Licenses.
HTH

Salut Patricia
You are right that with a single licence thats not possible, but then you wont have the problem with many users (>50 the same time) or some thousands of projects (pharmaceutical or IT) or some millions of activities. If you have concurrent licences its easy with more user-ids.

Dieter
Hallo Dieter,
Do you mean you can have several User IDs for a single licence ? How does that work ?
Regards to Germany.

Salut Patricia
In such cases I used more user ids with restricted rights, just being able to do the job. It has a big impact when you:
- Open big or many projects
- Assign many codes,
- Do a Global Change
- Many users using Primavera
But a server installation of P6.1 is significantly faster than P5.

Guten Abend Dieter,
That are bad news... I had hoped much better (from Primavera).
I am totally aware of more rights you have slower is the system. I do have this problem. I am often angry ; the only positive thing is that it allows me to make a break and have a cup of coffee without loosing any time (but I spend money for coffee).
Tschüss.
Patricia
Salut Patricia
Yes for server installation, not much for stand-alone.
If you have big or many projects or many user working the same time on a database there is another item: The more rights you have within the EPS the slower it is.

Dieter
Hello,
Is P6.1 SP1 so different from P5 SP5 (I think its ve version I have, but not so sure), in terms of performances ?
Thanks for more details.
Kindest regards.
Patricia
Hello Alex,
It takes too many time to open a single project or a group of projects ?
It takes too many time to generate a baseline ?
You have problem of refresh data ?
Etc..
Do you often save baselines of your projects (baseline = copy of the current situation, after each main update for instance ?). It could be one of the ... reasons.
Unfortunately, I do not have the right solution either. Sorry Alex.
We are using P5 in Critix Client with over 500 users across 6 different depots.
We automated the purge delete every night
Still from time to time we expereince very slow respond time.
We have to run a special SQL scripts to enhance the performance.
Anyone experience the similar issue
Alex
Check your PC spec - 3Mhz processor, minimum 1Gb RAM, check page file settings.
Also check start up filters in user preferences.
Minimise the number of applications hat you have open.
Above are the most common causes of performance degradation.
Check the purge deletes box is ticked as this dramatically effects the time it takes to open a project.
Being on a server/client based installation you could also have problems with bandwidth, you need to figure out how far away from your server you are and how you are connected, if it is quite a distance then you might be better off accessing Primavera via Citrix.
Citrix is a thin client and will just send the key strokes between you and the server as opposed to sending Primavera/schedule data backwards and forwards.
Are you purge deleting regularly?
