How does licensing work?

Licensing is based on the number of resources that you intend to plan. In essence, a resource is a line on the planning board which you can schedule. The licensing then is based on the consumption of resources, which we split up in packs. For instance, our smallest pack, the Starter edition, allows you to plan up to 10 resources.

Remember, it's only the number of resources on the planning board that determines the license edition. Here are a few examples of parameters that are entirely irrelevant to Dime.Scheduler's licensing model:

• BC/NAV user licenses: Dime.Scheduler is not built inside of any ERP system, so that licensing model is completely detached from Dime.Scheduler's.
• User count: you can have as many users as you want.
• Usage caps: you can plan as many tasks and appointments as you want, there is no limit whatsoever.
• Companies / administrations: you can connect an unlimited number of back-office systems to Dime.Scheduler.

Subscriptions are the method through which billing is managed.

How long does it take to set up a free trial?

It's the same story as with the actual implementation, and the answer is the classic one that nobody likes to hear: 'it depends'. There are many factors that influence the effort required to get you on your free trial, and it all depends on your expectations of the trial. While some may be up and running in a few hours, it takes others weeks or longer to get their ducks in a row and agree on the way forward.

If you want to use standard Dime.Scheduler with standard Business Central and don't have any special requirements, we can get you up and running in about two working days. It could be less if no unexpected issues arise and everybody has come extremely well prepared, but it might as well be more when there's even the slightest hickup.

Here's how a typical trial setup would like look like when Dime Software is involved:

• Kick-off meeting with all parties concerned to put everything on the table: topics vary from high-level objectives to detailed questions about the current and desired planning processes. Everything that we need to know about should be discussed here and now.
• Dime Software staff analyses the required effort for the solution, and gets back to the customer with an estimation.
• Customer signs off or makes adjustments to the scope of the project. Repeat step 2 and 3.
• When customer signs off, Dime Software puts the wheels in motion and organizes the sessions.

• Give access to the users to their new Dime.Scheduler instance.
• Install the extension for Dime.Scheduler in Business Central.
• Configure the extension by running the wizard and making planning data available in Dime.Scheduler.
• Set up the message flow from Dime.Scheduler back to Business Central.
• Train end users
