Purpose

TSPlus is a third party provider of remote desktop access licenses.   SedonaOffice cannot run in a virtual environment on its own, thus it requires an additional solution for users that access the SedonaOffice server for:

  • SedonaOffice
  • WeSuite
  • Reporting
    • Custom Reports
    • Excel Reports
    • Vivid Reports

Every new SedonaOffice Cloud implementation will require an Unlimited user license for TSPlus. This ensures that all user server access needs are addressed without the need to quote/install additional licenses.    For existing customers, an Add On User license sale project will require an upgrade to an Unlimited user license if they are not already on one.  

The Advanced Security option allows the customer's admin to quickly whitelist their users as needed.   It is now mandatory on all TSPlus sales.  For net new customers, it will be included at time of sale.  For existing customers that do not already have Advanced Security, sales will include it with next customer quote as a mandatory upgrade.  

The purpose of this document is to provide PMO resources with the information necessary to correctly request the setup of the AWS server(s) TSPlus  licenses by the Infrastructure team in conjunction with the AWS server spin up task.   

Infrastructure can start the server setup process using a trial license if necessary, however, it is only for 5 users and only valid for 14 days.  The actual license will need to be available before the end of the trial expiration and will require an additional task to install the actual license if a trial license is used.

User Count

TSPlus licenses will now be purchased as an Unlimited license for all sales.    A blanket PO will be setup  with the vendor for each year's projected sales by the Procurement team.    Infrastructure will get licenses from the vendors website, and the vendor will invoice Evercommerce against the blanket PO.  

PMO resources will  need to confirm what has been sold on the OAF/SOW vs what the customer currently has to ensure the correct items have been sold prior to requesting the AWS Server spin up using the User Count Tools.  

User Count Tools

The following tools can be used to understand the required user count and the customers current user count:

  • SedonaOffice License Database
    • Contains information on existing customer user count, TSPlus Advanced Security status, and TSPlus licensing type/count
    • Maintained by Sales Ops/Infrastructure resources
  • SO Hosted Server and TSPlus Decision Tree
