Q.
|
My organization has 20,000 employees with five divisions and wants to use your tool company-wide to plan for the highest level positions. Succession Planner will be used on one standalone computer only. I’m not sure how many licenses we need.
|
|
A.
|
Where the computer is not connected to a network, you will require a single user license only. Other people may use the tool on the same computer, but not at the same time.
|
|
Q.
|
Where I work, we have 3,000 employees within three divisions. Each division undertakes its own succession planning. How many licenses do I need?
|
|
A.
|
If one person in each division will be using Succession Planner on their own computer, you will need to purchase three licenses. If succession planning is also conducted at the corporate level, above the three divisions, by a fourth person on a separate computer, then you will need to purchase a fourth license.
|
|
Q.
|
I administer succession planning in our organization. I am the only one who uses Succession Planner on one computer at work. However, I now want to also (a) install the tool on my laptop and (b) access Succession Planner on the company’s network from my home computer. Is my single license sufficient?
|
|
A.
|
Installing Succession Planner on your laptop computer will not require an additional license, as this is regarded as personal use on another computer by the license holder. However, to access Succession Planner over the network will require the purchase of an additional license for each computer accessing Succession Planner. If your home computer will be the only computer accessing the tool over the network, then you will be required to purchase one additional license.
|
|
Q.
|
In my Human Resources department, we have three part-time HR staff members managing succession planning in our organization. They all use the one computer. Can we buy just one license?
|
|
A.
|
If the three part-time staff use Succession Planner at different times, you will need to purchase a single user license only.
|
|
Q.
|
I have been using Succession Planner in my organization, but have now been transferred to another division within the same organization. Can I delete the existing data and files and start again with new data in my new division?
|
|
A.
|
Yes, on the condition that you remove entirely all program files and data files produced by Succession Planner, including all copies of workbooks, assessment forms and the Process Guide. If you wish to leave behind any such files, you will need to purchase an additional license for the new division.
|
|
Q.
|
I have left my current organization. Can I take Succession Planner with me and install it on my new employer’s computer?
|
|
A.
|
No. Your new organization will need to purchase the requisite number of licenses for use in the organization.
|
|
Q.
|
I manage succession planning for four different divisions within my company. How many licenses do I need to buy?
|
|
A.
|
If Succession Planner is installed on a single computer, you will require a single user license. However, if other people will be accessing the tool on other standalone computers or over a network, your organization will require additional licenses.
|
|
Q.
|
We have 20 HR staff in our organization. Six HR Officers will be working on succession planning with the various business units. Two will be working on standalone computers from home, four will be working from networked workstations and two of those will also use standalone laptops. How do I work out how many licenses we will need to purchase?
|
|
A.
|
First, divide the computers that will be used to access the software into two groups: standalone and networked.
- For the standalone computers, count the number of computers and the number of non-simultaneous users and, if they are different, take the lesser of the two numbers.
- For the networked computers, count the number of computers used by Now add the two counts. The total count represents the number of licenses your organization requires. In your case, your organization will need to purchase eight licenses. It works like this.
The number of standalone computers is four (two home computers plus two laptops). The number of people using the tool on these computers is also four. The numbers are identical, so the count is four. Next, the count of the number of networked workstations accessing the tool is four. Adding these two counts (four plus four) yields eight required licenses.
|
|
Q.
|
I have purchased one license. How many copies of the Succession Planning Assessment Form can I print or copy?
|
|
A.
|
You may print, copy and use an unlimited number of forms on the condition that the forms are used for their intended purpose and the people using the forms received the forms from a valid license holder.
|
|
Q.
|
I have purchased one license. How many copies of the Succession Planner Process Guide can I print or copy?
|
|
A.
|
You may print or duplicate one copy only for each valid license that you hold. If you purchased one license, you may print one copy only.
|
|
Q.
|
I am a Human Resources consultant and want to use the tool and Process Guide to introduce, implement and manage succession planning in a client organization until the organization has the capability to manage it independently.
|
|
A.
|
Your client organization will need to purchase the requisite number of licenses directly from Business Performance Pty Ltd. Unauthorized third parties, including unauthorized external consultants and contractors, are prohibited from selling, reselling, licensing, renting, leasing or lending Succession Planner. Third parties are free to, and actively encouraged to, distribute and demonstrate the sample demonstration version to help close a contract. Following this, the client organization will need to purchase Succession Planner directly from us.
|
|
Q.
|
I want to sell Succession Planner to a customer, but play no role in its implementation and management.
|
|
A.
|
The license expressly prohibits onselling by unauthorized third parties. Customers and client organizations are required to purchase Succession Planner directly from Business Performance Pty Ltd. You are free to distribute the complete and unmodified sample demonstration version to whomever you wish. You are prohibited from receiving any kind of payment for such distribution.
