Microix License Structure & Add On Repurchase Rules
Database Allowances
- Modern includes 1 set of 3 databases under the same MIP Serial Number at no additional charge. Note: Any additional databases must be purchased in sets of 3. Modern add‑ons must be repurchased for every set of 3 databases.
- Classic includes 1 set of 5 databases under the same MIP Serial Number at no additional charge. Note: Any additional databases must be purchased in sets of 5. Classic add‑ons must be repurchased for every set of 5 databases. When a client upgrades from Classic to Modern, their database allowance is reset from 5 to 3, because Modern licensing is based on sets of 3 databases.
Modern Example Scenario
The client already owns:
- Requisition Module (plus possibly Timesheet and/or Budget Modules)
They now need to add:
- 1 additional set of databases (3 more databases)
- All available add‑ons
How many add‑ons will they need to purchase?
Web licenses ( IMPORTANT over 1000 web licenses must contact Microix Sales)
Microix Web Licenses (Classic vs. Modern) Across Multiple Databases
Classic (DBs included: 5)
Web Companion licenses are shared across all licensed databases. The total license count applies collectively and does not increase with additional database packs.- Example 1: With 1,000 web licenses, total active users across all databases cannot exceed 1,000.
- Example 2: With 2 database packs (10 databases) and 2,500 web licenses, total active users across all ten databases cannot exceed 2,500.
Modern (DBs included: 3)
Web licenses are also shared across all licensed databases, and the total does not increase with additional database packs.- Example 1: With 1,000 web licenses, total active users across all databases cannot exceed 1,000.
- Example 2: With 2 database packs (6 databases) and 2,500 web licenses, total active users across all six databases cannot exceed 2,500.
Hardware
- Barcode scanners can be shared across databases.
- Timeclocks cannot be shared across databases.
Special Case: Multiple Organizations
There is no charge for additional databases when:
- Two organizations operate under the same MIP Serial Number, or
- Two companies are merging their general ledger.
Exception:
If they need a unique MIP Serial Number or a separate MIP + Microix
system, they must purchase their own licenses.
