This large group of people only need to view PDFs of our engineering drawings. They need no write access. Is there another solution (3rd party) that allows access over the web to files int eh vault. Can we write our own client perhaps? They only need a simple drawing number search, then launch the pdf.
I know I can push out the viewer client but the web client is much easier from an installation and upgrade standpoint.
Just curious is any other companies run into this situation.
For example: We have maybe 50+ users log in to EPDM every morning (and who knows overseas) via AD but only 29 in use right now. As people use the program they dynamically get logged in and out... we haven't hit a bump yet except when we accidently installed everyone as editors.. LOL
Our licenses are: 10 editor, 12 Contrib, 25 viewers.
For example of those 200+ people you may only need 30 Viewer seats because that's all that may be hitting it at once? Check back w/SW or your VAR...
If you DO require 200 seats then let me know, I do have other ideas...
