Sites that must have same installation options can use the Flex RESERVE license option to allow only a certain group of users to check-out the SOA license....

So the first 3 on the RESERVE list to use would get the license.

[SystemArchitectTrain]

In version 11.3 and earlier, note the SOA license is tied to the SOA Add-on itself, not the encyclopedia. If you have the SOA Add-on installed on your machine and then start SA, a SOA license is consumed whether or not you're opening a SOA-enabled database. Only those users running SOA macro's or adding the SOA metamodel to existing encyclopedias need to install the SOA Add-on. To create one of the diagrams/definitions from the SOA metamodel, you don't need the SOA Add-on installed.

Note that the SOA add-on is included by default in System Architect 11.4. There is no need to enable anything in that version of the tool.Note that the SOA add-on is included by default in System Architect 11.4. There is no need to enable anything in that version of the tool.

@SystemArchitectTrain Hi and thank you for these videos. I have a question about the SOA addon for IBMRSA: how do I find it? I have an IBM RSA 11.4 license and installation but can't seem to access the diagrams or the options described here or in the RSA demo (application landscape for example).

@ZzzSpecter The SOA add-on is available from IBM FixCentral; the link to FixCentral can be found in the SA YouTube Channel home page. Install instructions can be found on the SA Info Center.

You will need a license and you will need to contact your sales representative for that.
