considering switching from perpetual license, which is based on concurrent users, to a subscription model which is based on named users. It is important we maintain the ability to open multiple sessions from the same user, as we can today under the perpetual model. Does anyone know if the named user model allows this functionality the same as concurrent does, or does it lock you out if you try to log in again from the same device?

hi,
below answers from Microsoft Support Engineer (NAV Team), DT, 15092015
Multi-sessions question
"Multi-session it's possible by design for same device (ex: laptop)"
License model question
"Under the Subscription licensing model in NAV2015 if one user logs into NAV with multiple clients will it take up multiple sessions?
Example, a user opens 3 Windows Clients on their laptop, does that take up 3 licenses or 1 license?
No. That will, under subscription, be one license as long as the same user opens all clients."
you are welcome!
hi,
good question!!.. i think that multi-session on same device is possibile by design.
... but the only document available about NAV 2015 license model is this (available also on Partnersource), you can find here:
www.saasplaza.com/.../MicrosoftDynamics2015SubscriptionLicensingGuideOctober2014.pdf
your question isn't discussed in document and not signed as "limitation"
"Access License Types"
Concurrent CALs are based on the number of users accessing the solution simultaneously. While this access license type allows an unlimited number of individuals to be defined in the system, the number of individuals accessing the solution at any given time may not exceed the total licensed number of Concurrent CALs. Concurrent CALs are assigned temporarily to an individual user for the duration of their active session. Once that individual ends the active session, the CAL then becomes available for use by another individual. Concurrent CALs license individual users to access the application only while they are consuming one of the Concurrent CALs (making it unavailable for other individuals to access the application)"
"SALs"
User SALs, only available in the Subscription Licensing model, grant individual users the right to access the application irrespective of the number of users simultaneously accessing the application. Unlike Concurrent CALs, a unique User SAL must be assigned to each individual user that will access the solution functionality. SALs are specific to an individual and cannot be shared.
Refer to the Perpetual Licensing and Subscription Licensing Models section later in this document for additional details.
