Training for Business Objects Thick Client Reporting

The Customer Resource Center will be offering a three-day Business Objects Thick Client training class Tuesday, June 10, through Thursday, June 12.  The eMARS Training Schedule for April through June may be found on the eMARS Web site at http://finance.ky.gov/internal/eMARS/training_resources.htm.  When registering for this training, please use the information shown below.

Prior to attending training, users are required to have purchased the Thick Client software, have the software installed on their machine and functioning, and have their User ID granted access to the Universes via Thick Client.  At this point in time, neither the CRC nor Statewide Accounting Services (SAS) will grant user’s access to Thick Client unless the request is sent via e-mail from the department’s Security Lead to the CRC.  Access will only be granted once the software has been set up on the user’s computer.  

Verification of an individual license for the named user may be requested prior to authorizing access to the Universes via Thick Client.  As well, so that the CRC and SAS may stay in compliance with Business Objects licensing agreements, users may not attend Thick Client training until the purchased software is installed and access is granted for Thick Client reporting.  Each enrollment in the Thick Client training class is followed up with verification of an individual Named User License.

If you have questions related to the purchase and installation of Thick Client please review the newsletter article Business Objects “Thick (Full) Client” Software: Important Information for Purchase and Installation located at http://finance.ky.gov/internal/eMARS/newsletter/Sept+07/default.htm.

Named User License (NUL).  When the Product is licensed on a Named User basis, each individual Named User must be specifically identified as the sole holder of a NUL.  A Named User means one specifically identified individual authorized to access the Product.  The individual Named User may access only those Product components for which he or she has obtained a NUL.  The sharing of the NUL by more than one individual is expressly prohibited and is a material breach of this License Agreement.  In addition, NUL(s) may not be transferred from one individual to another unless the original end-user no longer requires, and is no longer permitted, access to the Product.  NUL(s) are assigned to a single Deployment, and may not be shared among different Deployments.  A Deployment means for Business Objects products an installation utilizing a single Repository and/or Security Domain, and for Crystal products a single Crystal Management Server ("CMS") or CMS Cluster.  (Excerpt taken from license_agreement.rtf provided with the Business Objects Thick Client Software.)
