Hello everyone:
I came across this one and wanted to ask
The ARIS architects found the following difference between the license of ARIS Architect versus the ARIS Architect EP Access license. The first license for available for two users, while the second license only for one.
For the file ARIS_Architect.xml you can find the following product code:
<ProductCode> YAA </ ProductCode>
<ProductName> ARIS Architect </ ProductName>
While for the file ARIS_Architect_ExtPack_Access.xml you can find the following product code:
<ProductCode> YAAAC </ ProductCode>
<ProductName> ARIS Architect EP Access </ ProductName>
What's the difference between one and another? Is there any reason why only one architect has access to the EP Access license?
Thank you for your assistance
Regards
Pedro.
P.S: from what I found on ARIS Technical Product Matrix document, ARIS Architect EP allows to use XML/XMI/AML files for data exchange, is there any other difference from the ARIS Architect license?

Dear Pedro,
ARIS Architect has an add-on product which we call Extension Pack (EP). Here it is ARIS Architect EP Access .
Both licenses are meant to be assigned to user accounts and depend on each other. It makes neither sense nor is it possible to assign an EP (here: Access/YAAAC) to a user account without assigning also its base product (here: Architect/YAA).
What do make sense is to handle licenses of base products vs. EPs differently. E.g. for daily modelers you have a guaranteed access to an Architect license, while the EP Access is less often needed. Hence, it could be assigned to a larger number of users compared to the available number of EPs, e.g. via user group.
EP Access is enables the user to export unencrypted XML files. Another user can't import that file without that license. However, if no user have that license assigned, then exported XML files can also be imported on the same server.
Cheers
