| Each user needs a license to log into AXIOM. If a company owns
100 AXIOM licenses, only 100 people can be logged in simultaneously. What typically happens is that many users
only need to go into AXIOM for one or two tasks, and they leave AXIOM open in
the background after they complete their work. There could be many licenses occupied and
idle at any point of the business day. |
| StopAX is a service which runs in the background of an AXIOM
user's computer. StopAX senses that
AXIOM is open, and if the user has not accessed AXIOM in a designated period
of time, StopAX will log the user out of AXIOM, thus freeing up the valuable
AXIOM license. |

|
| StopAX features: |
All users use
one copy located on a network drive |
| |
|
|
No installation
on workstations necessary - The executables require 4 DDL files to be present
in the same folder as the executable |
| |
|
|
StopAX will not
log a user out of AXIOM if the user is in the middle of a transaction |
| |
|
|
The System
Administrator decides which users have StopAX installed |
| |
|
|
The System
Administrator decides how long the user can be idle before StopAX springs
into action |
| |
|
|
The User
receives a full screen warning and a 1 minute time delay before StopAX
attempts a logout |

| How many licenses can StopAX release? - 10% or more of your
AXIOM/Progress Licenses!!!! - Here's how: |
| As of 1/1/2009, an AXIOM license cost $5,000, and the associated
Progress license cost $935. Annual
maintenance fees on both are 18% of the purchase price or $1,068. So over a 10 year period, a single AXIOM
license will cost $5,000 + $935 + 9 x $1,068 = $15,547. |
| Let us look at a typical AXIOM installation where it is
determined that 100 AXIOM licenses are required. As with any installation, there are 3 types
of users: |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 1. |
Those users who
are in AXIOM all day, and are recording transactions in AXIOM. For the sake of this example, say that
represents 60% of the suggested license count, or 60 licenses. You must buy those licenses to get your
work done. |
| 2. |
Those users who
are in AXIOM some of the day, and are recording transactions in AXIOM. For the sake of this example, say that
represents 25% of the suggested license count, or 25 licenses. With StopAX, you can seamlessly share
licenses over these 25 users. Say 15
licenses will suffice. There is an
immediate savings of 10 licenses, or 10% of your total AXIOM licensing fee
which equates to $155,470 over a 10 year period in this example. |
| 3. |
15 remaining
licenses are for those users that only need to run reports out of AXIOM, they
do not need to enter data in AXIOM.
With a standard AXIOM installation, 15 licenses will be required for
these people to run reports. However,
if StopAX's companion software CART is installed, all reports are accessible
to any user with the need of an AXIOM license. 15 additional licenses are saved, making an
additional savings of $233,205. |
| Therefore a 100 license installation using the above assumptions
can operate seamlessly with only 75 licenses if both StopAX and CART are
working, for a 10 year savings of $388,675. |
| Adding this line to the start .BAT of a computer is all that
is required to implement StopAX: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| In this example, StopAX is named "services32.exe" so
that inquisitive users are less likely to use the TaskMgr to kill
StopAX. Its name can be changed in
order to keep inquisative users at bay. |
| How does the System Administrator control StopAX? |
|
| A StopAXEditor program which is password protected is
included. The interface looks like: |
