Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted May 23, 201014 yr Hi, I was just trying out Chat, and was curious how the licensing worked. (user limits) My question is, does it count as one user license used if someone clicks on the Chat tab? When on that page, it automatically says 'I've entered the room'... I guess this means I've logged into Chat, so this leads me to think that anyone who is curious could tie up a license just by selecting the 'Chat' tab and browsing away... the session appears to remain active. Also, if someone is using Chat, do they actually need to click on 'Leave' prior to changing tab to release a license? Thanks Rob
May 23, 201014 yr The IP.Chat system is a Single-User License application. Your users are able to enter the chat to communiacate/chat to eachother, able to continue conversations about what ever you allow.
May 23, 201014 yr Author I actually meant the user limits, sorry. 5 user limit is available by default, this means five members can click on the tab for the limit to be reached.
May 23, 201014 yr Yes, however once a user leaves the Chat Room, that slot will be re-taken by another user. Once 1 user has entered and there are 5 users in the chat, and 1 leaves it will become available for the next user.

Does the 'Leave' button have to be pressed, or does the visitor simply browse to another page?
May 24, 201014 yr If Leave button is pressed, they are released from chat immediately. If they browse away from the chat room, it takes up to 2 minutes for them to time out of the room. That is, effectively, the only difference.
