2 The Pro client and Brand portal are accessed through the same URL. When logging in, users with a Basic license will be directed to the Brand portal while users with a Standard or Pro license will be directed to the Pro client. Users with a Standard or Pro license can access the Brand portal through the Pro client.
3 Although it is technically possible to use an API to mimic the behavior of a client application, it is not allowed to mask clients. APIs and API licenses are only allowed to be used to automate tasks.
Logging in using a Basic, Standard, or Pro license
A user with a Basic, Standard or Pro license can be logged in to multiple, different clients simultaneously. These clients could be the standard Elvis clients (Pro client, Brand portal, or Elvis InDesign client), or a custom API client (subject to the license restrictions, see table above).
However, users cannot be simultaneously logged in to multiple clients of the same type (for example: logged in to the Pro client in two different Web browsers).
When a user logs in to a custom API using a Basic, Standard, or Pro license, the restrictions of the Basic, Standard, or Pro license apply.
Controlling access to product features
Apart from the differences in access to product features that each license brings as described earlier, additional (and more granular) access to features and assets is defined when setting up users and user groups.
Managing licenses
Managing licenses is done in the Elvis Management Console.

Hello,
the download of the server feature overview in PDF format is linked to an Elvis 5 document. The overview of the elvis 6 user license types shows a version from July 2017. Is there a more recent version available?
regards
Albrecht
Hi Albrecht,
Thanks for reporting this, I have updated the PDF.
To my knowledge no changes have been made to the license types overview. The July 2017 version should therefore still be current.
