A CNET is a network installation where licensing is centralized and the program, or application, files load from a server, across a LAN network, into the workstations/clients memory, etc., when started/launched.  Note there are no local application files installed on workstations/clients. The total number of concurrent users cannot exceed the number in the license file.   In theory, there can be an unlimited number of Statistica workstation instances/installations but only a certain number can be actively using Statistica concurrently.  The license service controls the check-in\check-out of users by comparing the number of active users to the number of users in a license file.  Once the maximum number of users has been reached, the license manager service will not allow a new instance of Statistica to launch. If an active user closes Statistica, then Statistica will then be available for use (the number of available users will increase by 1 every time a user closes Statistica). 

Notes:

BNET (Concurrent Network with Borrowing)

A BNET is a CNET with the added ability to install the program, or application, files locally.  When Statistica is launched it does not have to load across a LAN network.  The benefit to this is speed in launching and using the application.  Another benefit is licensing can be borrowed and the workstation/client can be disconnected from the network for up to 30 days.  Licenses are checked out and expire after the check-out period (default is 30 days).  

 

ENTERPRISE 

Enterprise installations comprise all the components of a CNET or BNET but also has the additional metadata database component or data repository. The data repository contains objects created in the Statistica Enterprise Manager, like:

1.  users
2.  workspaces
3.  data configuration
4.  analysis configuration
5.  tasks
6.  tasksets
7.  alarm dashboard
8.  database connections
