Edition Licensing

The user has different capabilities depending on license type:

• Licensed for Global Process Manager Module (COE License – the name of this license is displayed in the Console Root beside the server's name) – allows the user to add and/or connect any destination server, regardless of site
• Licensed for Process Manager Module (PM License) – only allows the user to add and/or connect destination servers existing within the same site

COE (Center of Excellence) refers to a Global Competency Center and is a non-production site. This is where valuable company business knowledge is analyzed and kept. Such knowledge is then spread across customers’ sites in order to ensure the best performance for the company.

In DELMIA Apriso terms, the COE server contains the company’s best DELMIA Apriso solution for manufacturing. In other words, such a server keeps the best configurations of Processes, Operations, and other DELMIA Apriso entities. Then these configurations are distributed to all customers' sites. To have a COE server, a customer has to buy a COE license.

A COE license allows the customer to maintain a single, unified, homogenous solution, as well as to deploy it globally to all sites. It is possible to send GPM Packages from the COE server to all dependent sites. This enables total control and visibility over:

• Packages that have been deployed on production sites
• Processes and Operations inside deployed versions

A COE license is especially valuable for companies which:

• Have more than one production site
• Govern or want to govern their plants globally
• Want to grow (i.e., increase the number of plants) and decrease the cost of rollouts
• Want to reduce the cost of upgrades, changes, and maintenance
