FAQs About Your Collection-Master Subscription Agreement and User Licenses

A workstation, laptop, and RDP* user connection are each considered a single device for the purposes of your Subscription Agreement and each device login will use a subscription.
A Named User is licensed to access Collection-Master on a single device. However, as a courtesy, each Named User may access Collection-Master on a second device/connection, provided your second connection to Collection-Master does not exceed the total subscription users your firm has licensed.
If a Named User needs to log in to more than two devices simultaneously, that user will need an additional license.

* For purposes of these FAQs, “RDP” is used for Remote Desktop Protocol, a term which includes Remote Desktop Connection (RDC).

You may use the same login to access a second courtesy device connection simultaneously, provided your second login does not cause your firm to exceed the total subscription users your firm has licensed.
- For example, if your firm has a 40-user subscription, a maximum of 20 Named Users in the Vertican License Manager (VLM) may have two concurrent connections at any one time.
  - In this example, since 20 Named Users are using 40 devices/connections, the 41st user with a valid subscription will be denied access if the firm’s subscription limit is actively in use.

If you wish to exceed two simultaneous device logins (one licensed and one as a courtesy, if available), you will need to purchase an additional subscription license for each additional device, including RDP sessions.

If a specific Named User accesses a second RDP connection simultaneously, that will count as the courtesy second session, provided the total subscription user limit is not exceeded.
