Select Workspace Control Modules

When creating a new Workspace Control Datastore at Datastore > Connections in the Setup menu, you can choose which Workspace Control module(s) you wish to evaluate or use, depending on the required features:

  • Workspace Control Core
  • Composition
  • Governance
  • Security

During the 45-day evaluation period, go to Licensing in the Setup menu and click the Module(s) hyperlink to switch modules.

To view the features and options available for each Workspace Control module, see Workspace Control Module Comparison.

Combine modules

When modules are combined, please consider the following:

  • The modules require an equal license count to unlock the combined feature sets.
  • If you have an unequal number of licenses for two or three different modules, the number of the first module for which licenses were imported becomes the default number of licenses.
    In any situation, adding licenses for a second or third module will not decrease the total number of licenses, nor the feature set that is available, unless you choose to do this. In this situation, you can choose an alternative combination of the unequal number of licenses for two or more modules via the module(s) hyperlink on the Licenses tab at Setup > Licensing.

Examples

Scenario 1 - equal number of licenses for two modules:

  • 200 Composition named licenses (initial module licenses)
  • 200 Governance named licenses are added to your Workspace Control environment

Result: 200 named licenses for Composition + Governance

Scenario 2 - lower license count for second module:

  • 200 Composition named licenses (initial module licenses)
  • 100 Governance named licenses are added to your Workspace Control environment

Result: 200 named licenses for Composition

Alternative: 100 Composition + Governance named licenses - this decreases the number of available licenses from 200 to 100 in your Workspace Control environment.

Scenario 3 - higher license count for second module:

  • 100 Governance named licenses (initial module licenses)
  • 200 Security named licenses are added to your Workspace Control environment

Result: 100 named licenses for Governance + Security. Note that this means that you have 100 unused Security licenses.

Alternative: 200 Security named licenses - this increases the number of available licenses from 100 to 200 in your Workspace Control environment, but you lose the features that belong to the Governance module.

Scenario 4 - Named and concurrent license combinations:

  • 200 Security named licenses (initial module licenses)
  • 100 Security concurrent licenses (initial module licenses)

Result: 300 Security licenses (200 named + 100 concurrent).

If you add:

  • 200 Composition named licenses

Result: 300 Security licenses (200 named + 100 concurrent)

Alternative: 200 Composition + Security named licenses. Note that this means that you have 100 unused Security concurrent licenses.

If you then add:

  • 100 Composition concurrent licenses

Result: 300 Composition + Security licenses (200 named + 100 concurrent)

Choose alternative license combinations

If one or more alternative choices are available, the Module(s) label (on the Licenses tab at Setup > Licensing) becomes a hyperlink to open a window where you can set the active license combination.
