3 IBM US Announcement Supplemental Information June 11, 2002 Additional Information Web-Based Learning Solutions (WLS) Packaging and Products ENOVIA WLS configurations may be ordered in two ways, depending on the objectives of the customer: 1. As shareable configurations: ENOVIA User Companion for VPM Configuration (5691-VMC) User Companion for DMU Configuration (5691-DNC) Shareable configurations are suited for the customer who needs a limited number of licenses available. These configurations are delivered with their own license key, allowing the user to obtain the license at the beginning of the session, or to leave it for another user. 2. As enterprise configurations: ENOVIA User Companion for VPM Configuration Enterprise Option (5795-VMC) User Companion for DMU Configuration Enterprise Option (5795-DNC) Note: The terms regarding use of the Enterprise Option have changed in V5.9 to include configurations available in the P1 environment. This licensing option offers a reduced primary license charge (PLC) and requires that the customer purchase licenses in a quantity equal to the quantity of each licensed CATIA configuration or product as described by the following terms: The ENOVIA WLS V5 configuration 5795-DNC is licensed to customers on a one-to-one relationship between the 5795-DNC configuration and each licensed 5693-DN1 or -DMN add-on or 5691-DMN shareable product as well as each licensed configuration (and any future configuration) which includes the DMU Navigator 1 or DMU Navigator 2 product. The ENOVIA WLS configuration 5795-VMC is licensed to customers on a one-to-one relationship between the 5795-VMC configuration and each licensed ENOVIAVPM Infrastructure product (5691-VPM). All subsequent orders for the applicable licensed configurations must be accompanied by an equivalent order for the supporting ENOVIA User Companion. The price of an enterprise seat is greatly reduced compared to the price of a shareable order. There is a 10 seat minimum requirement for 5795-VMC, the ENOVIA User Companion for VPM Configuration Enterprise Option. There is no minimum seat requirement for 5795-DNC, User Companion for DMU Configuration Enterprise Option. Note: The following rules apply: When the enterprise option is deployed, the shareable option is no longer necessary. A 5691 product (shareable) can only be added on top of a 5691 (shareable) configuration. A 5795 product (enterprise) can only be added on top of a 5795 (enterprise) configuration. A customer may have 5691 type entry configuration and 5795 type entry configuration (such as 5691-MDC + HDS and 5795-DNC). Note: For all questions regarding implementation or administrative details of the WLS Enterprise Option, contact PLM Worldwide Marketing at x6643.
