CloudZoo wish/question: min/max conditions

[Michael_Meyer]

Dear CloudZoo-admins/developers,

I’ve got a customer call about CloudZoo teams.

The company has 5 Rhino licenses. They want to share these 5 licenses to the following deparments with the conditions in brackets:

• construction (min 3 licenses must be available)
• accounting (can use max 2 licenses)
• education (can use max 2 licenses)

The customer thought to manage the 5 licenses with 3 teams, but this seams not to help with these conditions.

Can we have priorities, like min, max with the CloudZoo? If not, then this is a customer wish to the CloudZoo-developers.

Thanks

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the suggestion. I think Cloud Zoo may already be able to support this particular use case by splitting the licenses between two teams and have some users be members of both teams, for example:

• Team A (Construction): 3 licenses
• Team B (Accounting and Education): 2 licenses

Those in the Construction department could be members of both teams, whilst those in Accounting and Education would be members of Team B only.

It might help also for the Construction dept to enable “ManualEntitySelection” to ensure that they’re using Team A where possible.

Possible to be part of several team in cloud Zoo

Hi @BaptisteC, You can force Rhino to let you choose which team you want to get a license from. To do this: Go to Tools -> Options -> Advanced Set Rhino.LicenseSettings.ManualEntitySelection to true. In Rhino’s command prompt, run the Logout command. This will close Rhino. Open Rhino again. Upon logging in, you will be prompted to choose a team. Rhino on that computer will now always get a license from that team.

Hi Will,

this sounds good to me. I will send this to my customer.

I haven’t found the advanced setting Rhino.LicenseSettings.ManualEntitySelection in Rhino 7, was it renamed/removed?

Thank you very much

Michael
