This document describes different license features in Partek Flow. Some license features are required in to initiate the software for the particular environment in which it is installed. Other license features (enterprise and toolkits) are optional and would depend on the particular needs of the users. For information on how to purchase the different license features, contact your account representative or email licensing@partek.com.

To check the current license features of your Partek Flow, go to the Username > Settings > System Information > Partek Flow license details (Figure 1). Administrators can also see the information, as well as apply a new license through Username > Settings > Licensing page of the software (Figure 2).

Enterprise Features

User Disk Quotas

• Administrators can specify disk-space quotas for users and actions to be performed at 80% and 100% of these quotas.

• A Disk usage row appears on the profile of each user

• If a quota is set for a user, the Project disk space icon on the lower right of the Analyses tab will be replaced by a Quota disk space for the current user (Figure 3)
• If a quota is set for a user, the Project disk space icon on the lower right of the Analyses tab will indicate the corresponding usage

Dedicating Licenses to Groups

• Administrators can dedicate some of the concurrent licenses to particular user groups, guaranteeing that that number of group users can always be logged in or running tasks and restricting other users from using those licenses.  

• This feature has an effect only for concurrent licenses.  

• All users see a Dedicated licenses column on the Group management page, but only administrators can change its values.

Usage Reports

• Administrators can report information about users, user groups, projects, directories, file types, file compression, and disk quota and usage.

Option Sets from Command Line

• Users can convert command lines to option sets.  An Add option set from command line button appears on the Option Set Management page.

Reprioritizing Tasks

• Administrators can move a project’s tasks to the top of the task queue.  Green up arrows () appear next to tasks in the task queue, and clicking one moves all of the tasks for that task’s project to the top (Figure 4).
• The task queue can be accessed through the Queue>View queued tasks... at the top menu.  It can also be accessed by clicking the server icon  , and in the System resources page, click the View queued tasks link.
