Using zigGIS with ArcGIS on a Terminal Server

[Jesse]

Hello Folks,

Does anyone have any experience using the zigGIS tool with an ArcGIS
instance that is accessed via Terminal Services or Citrix XenApp?
Does there need to be a license per machine, or per user? So if I had
10 users accessing my ArcGIS Desktop on a terminal server, would I
need 10 zigGIS licenses?

Thanks!

Jesse

Although this certainly goes against the spirit of our license (we
didn't consider this specific scenario when authoring the EULA), it
technically does not break it:

(a) Installation and Use. Obtuse Software, LLC grants you the right
to install and use copies of the SOFTWARE on your computer running a
validly licensed copy of ESRI ArcGIS Desktop.

(see http://pub.obtusesoft.com/eula.rtf for the full EULA)

Also, we make no bones about the fact the zigGIS includes zero
technology that controls license validation and management. So,
functionally, zigGIS will work no matter the number of simultaneous
users. Unfortunately this might be something we have to revisit
because we're finding there are more dishonest people out there than
we expected.

I hope that helps.

Hi Abe,

Thanks so much for the reply. I hope I didn't mean to imply that I
would want to violate your EULA. I just wanted to understand how the
zigGIS licensing works in relation to ESRI's concurrent licensing.

Thanks!
