To use the MphasiS-Wyde products officially, you need a license. MphasiS-Wyde's sales staff will be happy to discuss with you the exact kind of license you need to suit your task at hand. If you are required to use a license or if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.


To know how to request a license, please refer below.



License Types


There are three basic categories of license correspondig to MphasiS-Wyde products:



Workstation License Type

Workstation licenses allow you to consult, develop, and test your applications in a work group environment. There are three kinds of workstation license:



Unregistered Version

When you first install eWam, you have no license. Your workstation has what is known as an 'unregistered version' of eWam. This unregistered version will last approximately one month, after which it will become inactive, and you will no longer be able to launch your eWam. An unregistered version allowes you to enjoy most of eWam's powerful features, however, it doesn't allow you to produce executable code, neither to work in a group. The unregistered version is mainly for you to evaluate eWam.



Developer License

A developer license allowes you to use all aspects of the eWam environment. It allowes to build and modify classes, modules, scenarios, types, constants, configurations, data base mappings, .... You also have access to all the production and performance analyzer tools, such as the C++ producer or the code profiler. Equiped with full fledged workstations installed with proper licenses developers are able to work benefit from MphasiS-Wyde's powerful work group facilities. Basically, you can take advantage of this wonderful MphasiS-Wyde development tool.



Server License

To deploy and run MphasiS-Wyde applications in a server environment, you need a server license. You need a license to use:

  • MphasiS-Wyde Web
  • MultiTeam
  • eWED (COM, GSP)
  • MphasiS-Wyde OPS
  • XML RPC Server
  • wInterface
  • Web Services

Until version 4.2, MphasiS-Wyde used to provid a one-size-fits-all server license. As for eWam 4.2, you are able to acquire the license that conforms exactly to your needs.


By default, if you have no server license, the selected tool allows you to handle three simultaneous connections only. Two additional connections (the so-called excess connections) are available to handle rare moments when you need them during your testing. Using these two additional connections will write a warning into the Windows Event Viewer. Requesting a sixth connection will, however, fail.


An official server license has two main parameters that you can customize to your specific needs:

  • Number of simultaneous connections: The number of simultaneous connections is your estimate of the number of people likely to use the application at any given time. Up until you reach this maximum number, the MphasiS-Wyde tool in question will allow new connections to be made.
  • Number of excess connections: The number of excess connections allows you to handle the rare occasions when there are more users than you have connections in your license. The MphasiS-Wyde tool in question will allow a certain fixed number of additional connections to be made, each time writing a warning to the Windows Event Viewer that an extra connections has been requested. Once these extra licenses are exhausted, subsequent connections will fail.

You can discuss with your MphasiS-Wyde salesman your specific needs, so that a custom license can be configured for you with these parameters personalized for your specific needs. Note that the excess connections are to be considered as a temporary measure to get you through a short period with slightly higher load than expected. If you regularly have recourse to these excess connections, you should contact your MphasiS-Wyde representative to adjust the number of licenses appropriately.



Other products license

To deploy and run wRobot or wMigrate, you need a specific license that you can request the same way as the others.
