======GUM Workbench - Frequently Asked Questions======


=====Network Installation====

??? Does GUM Workbench support a network installation?

!!! Yes, GUM Workbench supports a network installation on a central file server, but a special network license is required (see  [[http://www.metrodata.de/network_en.html|Network licenses]]).

GUM Workbench supports two  different license models: [[http://www.metrodata.de/network_en.html#separate|Separate licenses]] and [[http://www.metrodata.de/network_en.html#shared|Shared licenses]]

??? What is the difference between a separate and a shared network license?

!!! A separate network license belong to one specific user even if the user is not explicitly named in the license certificate. In practice only the number of users stated in the license certificate should have the possibility to access and use GUM Workbench.

A shared network license does not belong to any user. Instead the license will be allocated to the user on demand. Only the number of users stated in the license certificate can use GUM Workbench at any given time. If no further license is available GUM Workbench cannot be used.

??? Does the shared network license model requires a license server?

!!! Yes, the shared network license model requires a license server but it is included in the network installation. The GUM Workbench License Server is a lightweight service running on a central MS-Windows Server which acts as a license broker. It will be installed server as part of the shared network installation.

??? Does the separate network license model support the installation of GUM Workbench independently of the network?

!!! Yes, some of the licenses granted by a separate network license can be used independently of the network as long as the total number of licenses stated in the license certificate is respected at all times.

??? Does the shared network license model support the installation of GUM Workbench independently of the network?

!!! No, the shared network license does not support any independent installation of GUM Workbench. Additional licenses might be acquired if GUM Workbench should be usable independent of a permanent network connection.

=====Difference Between Version 1.4 & 2.4 ====
??? What are the difference between versions 1.4 and 2.4 ? 
!!! With the version 1.4 you can just program one mathematical model but you can't add another mathematical model in the same example.
With the version 2.4 you can program other than mathematical model, the principle mathematical model and for different input you can add the specific model.
See the comparison matrix [[http://www.metrodata.de/matrix_en.html]]

!!! Example:
you would like have a budget of T= a*P + V and you have P = X1 + X2 + X3 and V = B1 + B2 + B3 

!!! In version 1.4 : For each model one file 
<> File 1 : V = B1 + B2 + B3 
<> File 2 : P = X1 + X2 + X3
<> File 3 : T= a*P + V

!!! In version 2.4 : one file 
<> T= a*P + V 
<> P = X1 + X2 + X3 
<> V = B1 + B2 + B3 

??? Quelle est la différence entre la version 1.4 et 2.4 ? 
En utilisant la version 1.4 vous pouvez programmer un seul modèle mathématique.
En utilisant la version 2.4 vous pouvez programmer plusieurs modèles liés en même temps.

Voir matrice de comparaison [[http://www.metrodata.de/matrix_en.html]]

!!! Example :
Vous avez le modèle mathématique suivant T= a*P + V où P = X1 + X2 + X3 et V = B1 + B2 + B3 

!!! Programme en utilisant la version 1.4 : Pour chaque équation on programme un fichier :
<> Fichier 1 : V = B1 + B2 + B3 
<> Fichier 2 : P = X1 + X2 + X3
<> Fichier 3 : T= a*P + V

!!! Programme en utilisant la version 2.4 : un seul fichier en mettant tous les modèles en même temps 
<> T= a*P + V 
<> P = X1 + X2 + X3 
<> V = B1 + B2 + B3 

??? What does "uncertainty in measurement with one result quantity " and " uncertainty in measurement with multiple result quantities" mean ?
!!! This is the difference between the versions: for version 1.4 we can write that a single mathematical model, a single result value, unlikely things in our professional examples, we use several measuring equipments or quantities values for a measuring processes, which led Metrodata to create version 2.4 where we can put several models at the same time.
!!! uncertainty in measurement with one result quantity : the version 1.4 we can just see one budget, one result 
!!! uncertainty in measurement with multiple result quantities : the version 2.4 - we can see the result of each result quantity 

??? Que signifie « incertitude de mesure d'un mesurande  » et « incertitude de mesure de plusieurs mesurantes »?
!!! C'est la différence entre les versions : pour la version 1.4 on peut rédiger qu'un seul modèle mathématique, un seul mesurande, choses peu probables dans nos exemples professionnels , on utilise plusieurs équipements de mesure pour une opération de mesurage, ce qui a poussé Metrodata à créer la version 2.4 où on peut mettre plusieurs modèles en même temps.
=====Export and import data ====

??? Is it possible to export the results in a text, Word, or other file ? 

!!! Yes indeed we can export the results in different formats RTF, TXT and HTM solutions for the digitization of your processes.

??? Est-il possible d’exporter les résultats dans un fichier texte, Word ou autre ?

!!! Oui effectivement on peut exporter les résultats en différents formats RTF, TXT et HTM solutions pour la digitalisation de vos processus 
=====Financial questions ====
??? In terms of prices what are the different offers ? 

!!! Metrodata publishes the price list. Download price list [[http://www.metrodata.de/prices_en.html]]

??? There is a price difference between Metrodata and its distributor?
!!! No , it's the same price, just the VAT it's depends to the country loi. Download price list [[http://www.metrodata.de/prices_en.html]]

??? Il y a une différence de prix entre Metrodata et son distributeur ?
!!! Non, c'est le même prix, seulement la TVA dépend de la législation du pays où le logiciel est acheté. téléchargé la liste des prix [[http://www.metrodata.de/prices_en.html]]

??? Are the 1-user two licenses (1.4 & 2.4) available for renewal each year or is it a simple download ?
!!! A license purchased for a PC is a final license, there is no annual subscription or other financial supplements, small updates are free and major changes (Upgrade version) are paid. See price list [[http://www.metrodata.de/prices_en.html]]

??? Les deux licences d’un utilisateur (1.4 et 2.4) peuvent-elles être renouvelées chaque année ou s’agit-il d’un simple téléchargement?
!!! Une licence achetée pour un PC est une licence définitive , il n'y a pas un abonnement annuel ou autres modalités, les petites mises à jours sont gratuites et les changements majeurs (changement de version ) sont payants. Voir liste des prix [[http://www.metrodata.de/prices_en.html]]
