Beehive Enterprise
Want to use Beehive in your own server? Take a look at what Beehive offers with the Enterprise solution
- What is Beehive Enterprise?
-
Beehive Enterprise is the on-premises version of likebeehive.com. It makes managing and tracing processes possible and enjoyable for large-scale garment manufacturers.
- How is Beehive Enterprise different from likebeehive.com?
-
Beehive Enterprise includes the same great set of features as likebeehive.com but packaged for running on your organization's local network. All company data is stored on machines that you control.
Use Beehive Enterprise when you need complete control over your company data and information.
- Can I evaluate Beehive Enterprise within my organization before purchasing?
-
Yes. 45-day evaluation licenses are available and may be upgraded to full licenses at any time during the trial period. To get started, request a live demo. We'll contact you shortly after with information on downloading the software and installing trial license keys.
- What hardware and software are required?
-
Beehive Enterprise is delivered as a virtual appliance that includes all software required to get up and running. The only additional software required is a compatible virtual machine environment.
The following minimal hardware requirements are suggested for production deployments:
- Processor: Four 2.0 GHz CPU cores (or virtual equivalent)
- Memory: 8 GB (minimum dependent on selected platform)
- Disk: 200 GB VM partition
- What is a Virtual Appliance?
-
You can think of a virtual appliance as the equivalent of a network appliance that you might buy, mount in a rack, and plug into your network. The only difference is that it runs as a virtual machine inside of VMware or some other virtualization platform rather than as a physical device you mount in a rack.
This saves time (you can download the appliance and all updates immediately) and space (you just add it to your existing virtualization infrastructure). It also makes managing, backing up, and restoring the appliance easy because you can use your virtualization platform's built-in snapshotting capabilities.
- How many seats do I need and who needs seats?
-
Seats must be purchased for each employee in your organization. This includes workers, operators, managers, supervisors, developers, and any kind of other employees.
- How is Beehive Enterprise licensed?
-
Beehive Enterprise is licensed under a subscription model. Seats are purchased for a period of one-year or multiple years which includes full support and access to all basic updates and upgrades. Custom updates and upgrades are optional.
- How are upgrade orders processed?
-
All upgrade orders you place are prorated to co-terminate with your original license.
- How do I add more seats to my current license?
-
All upgrades are handled in your favor. We charge only for the difference in price between the number of seats you currently have and the number of seats you want total. The cost of the new seats is prorated for time remaining in your current license period, so your renewal dates for new seats will always coincide with your existing seats. You can initiate an upgrade order by clicking on the Buy More Seats button on the dashboard, or just contact us for assistance.
- Are licenses available for less than 50 seats?
-
No. Licenses must be purchased in 50 seat packs. We recommend likebeehive.com for smaller organizations to start. Contact us to speak to a sales representative if you have a unique situation we should chat about.
- Do you offer discounts?
-
Yes. We offer discounts on purchasing for more than one-year periods. Contact our Sales Team for more information.
- Does the license include access to the source code?
-
No. Licenses cover the use of the software only. Modification and redistribution are not permitted.
- Do you have an End User License Agreement that I can review prior to making a purchase?
-
Yes. The purchase and use of Beehive Enterprise is governed by the Beehive Enterprise License and Support Agreement. If you have any questions concerning this agreement, please contact us.
