3
I am currently using the Groupion Community Edition / Start-Up Edition, but I would like to use iXML to customize my platform. Can I activate iXML for a single user only?
No. Since iXML is a highly integrated feature of Groupion, you can only activate it for the whole platform.
To do this, you have to switch to the Enterprise Edition.

Can I combine the different editions in any way?
No. Every edition is a license of its own. You can not combine different licenses on a single platform.
5
I have many users who only need access to read data from my Groupion platform. Do I need a license for these users?
No. You only need a valid license if a user becomes active in a packge, i.e. needs writing rights for a package.

Who do I contact in case of serious problems?

When subscribing Groupion, you do not actually buy a software product, but you rather rent the packages that you need. This way you do not pay for owning Groupion, but for using it. You can always adapt your platform according to your needs.

What is Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)?
As the name indicates, SaaS is a new aproach towards software. Instead of paying up front for a software product, you can rent
the software on a monthly basis. You can use the platform directly within your standard web-browser. There is no need to
install any components on your computer. This way you do not face high initial investments for infrastructure and setup.
9
Can I extend my license with additional users?
Yes. You can always extend your license and add new users to your platform. You can either use the license management
tool in the administration package of your platform, or you can contact our sales team to purchase additional user licenses.
