Live Forms v8.2 is no longer supported. Please visit Live Forms Latest for our current Cloud Release. Earlier documentation is available too.
Licensing
The licensing is based on the number of users who can simultaneously log into the form server. A ' user is anyone that is authenticated to for the purpose of:
- Designing a form
- Digitally signing the form ( needs to know who the user is in order to generate a signature)
- Participating in a workflow ( needs to know who the user is in order to display a task list)
- Submitting a form that requires authentication to access
- Access the audit trail (identifying the submitter, for example) and part of the audit trail history
- Using an external security manager (LDAP/Active Directory, for example) with Single Sign On (SSO)
Consider the types of users in your organization when purchasing a license Refer to our Purchasing FAQ page for more information

Types of Users
The types of users in your organization may affect the License that you purchase. Refer to the definitions below.
Concurrent Users
Concurrent users are users that are logged in to simultaneously. Generally, for Intranet forms/workflows you want to calculate how many users will concurrently be accessing the forms, since in most cases, on an Intranet, people want to know who is submitting the form. For Extranet forms, you generally do not have authenticated users. For instance, a 10-concurrent user license means 10 users can be logged in simultaneously to .
Named Users
Licenses can be purchased for a maximum number of users. This type of license is only available for tenants configured with the Default Security Manager. A Named User license controls the number of users the superuser (in-house) or tenant admin can create across all tenants
The number of Named Users shows in the Server Configuration screens accessible to the in-house superadmin and the tenant admin.
Anonymous Users
These are users that don't need an account in and also aren't involved in any of the items described above. Anonymous users do NOT count as users and therefore are not limited by the license. Common examples are filling out a survey or a contact form.
