1C:Enterprise 8 platform and licences

How 1C programs are licensed: the application, client licences for workplaces and the server licence.

All 1C business applications run on one platform, 1C:Enterprise 8. An application is bought once together with a licence for one workplace. More users are added with client licences, and work in client-server mode needs a server licence.

What a set of licences consists of

  • The application. The main delivery contains the platform, the application itself and a licence for one workplace.
  • Client licences. Additional workplaces, in sets from one workplace to several hundred. The number of client licences sets how many users can work at the same time.
  • Server licence. 1C:Enterprise 8 Server for work in client-server mode with a database management system. It is needed when many users work at once and the database is large.
  • PROF and CORP levels. CORP licences add functions for large installations: fault tolerance and scaling of the server cluster, additional administration and security options.
  • Protection. Licences are activated by PIN codes on the computer or supplied on USB keys.

Ways to work

  • On a computer in the office, in file mode for a few users or in client-server mode.
  • Through a browser and from mobile devices, without installing the program at the workplace.
  • From branches and from home through a remote connection to the company's server.

When to review the licences

  • The number of users has grown and people wait for a free licence.
  • The company moves from file mode to client-server mode.
  • A corporate product is being introduced and needs CORP licences.
  • Servers are replaced or moved to a virtual environment.

What we do

  • Calculation of the set of licences for the number of users and the way of work.
  • Supply of licences as an official 1C partner and their registration.
  • Installation of the platform and the server, transfer of licences when equipment changes.
  • Advice on the server and the database management system for the expected load.
