RU; named user (Windchill Manage Licensing FAQ wording)
Definition
“Registered User” (RU): Registered User products may only be used by a single individual without regard to how often the person uses the license. A license is required for every such individual, regardless of whether the individual is accessing the Licensed Product directly or via an intermediate application. Shared passwords or log-in accounts are not permitted unless the licensing basis for the particular product below specifies to the contrary.
Counting rules
The Customer may add and/or substitute new Registered Users as long as the aggregate number of Registered Users does not exceed the number of licenses in effect at that time for that product. If a person who was previously a Registered User returns to Registered User status, a new license fee must be paid at PTC’s then current rates unless the product’s licensing basis says otherwise. Batching rule: a license is required for each individual who accesses the product, its functionality, data or output, directly or indirectly. Customer Agreement 4.2: usage reports for Registered User Products list all individuals issued a password or other unique identifier.
