C-MAP Dynamic Licensing
|
A user friendly, cost effective and flexible ENC Service
The C-MAP Dynamic Licensing service is a user friendly and cost-effective method for licensing ENC charts in C-MAP SENC format.
The service ensures immediate access to ENC licenses whenever they are needed. The portfolio can be restricted to a
minimum coverage and tailored to meet the individual end-user needs, thus reducing costs. Immediate access to new ENC's is restricted to
the requested subscription Zone or Area but this can be expanded whenever required.

Subscription
At subscription start, a contract has to be signed by the customer. The contract
regulates important issues such as the subscription area (Zones and Areas),
Credit Limit, Invoice Limit, Invoice Period and Reporting Interval. Based on
Jeppesen's well-known Zones and Areas, the end-user subscribes to an area that
covers the actual trading area or planned route. However, the establishment of a
subscription will not initially give the end-user licenses to any ENC-cells. The
subscription area can be extended whenever required.LicensingThe
end-user has 2 options to enable licenses to new cells:
1. When the ECDIS system is set to Navigation Mode, licenses to new cells are
automatically generated as soon as the vessel is entering into a new cell. This
ensures that the customer always has licenses for ENC's covering the
surroundings of the vessel's position.
2. When the ECDIS system is in Planning Mode, licenses to new cells are
activated by panning or zooming into a new cell. Since the licensing process in
planning modus is automatic, the customers will be informed about this every
time they are entering into this mode.
Please note that Dynamic Licensing can be switched on or off whenever required.
The minimum default license period for individual cells is 3 months.Credit limit
To prevent uncontrolled licensing costs (licenses to cells which are not
required), a credit limit has to be set. The size of the credit limit should be
based on estimated yearly costs for the vessel. When accessing new cells, the
licensing costs for the actual cells will be subtracted and the Credit Limit
will be reduced correspondingly. The limit can be extended whenever needed.
Updating
Dynamic Licensing's updating system is based on the existing C-MAP Update
Service Online. This online service includes all NtM updates. New charts and new
edition of charts have to be received on DVD, or by using the Online+ update
service to ensure that the databases are fully updated. A pop-up reminder will
inform the users that they must update on a regular basis.
Reporting
The user does not have to manually report ENC usage to Jeppesen. When connecting
to the Jeppesen Update Server for updating the charts, a full report on how many
licenses have been opened is automatically generated and sent. This forms the
basis of the next invoice.
