I am in the process of testing the Sharepoint Vision products and so far am very impressed.  I was able to link quickly to Sharepoint Lists and use Excel Services without a problem.  The UI is easy to understand and the results are very good. 

I am planning on purchasing today, but have a couple of security questions.  When my IT team installed on our test site it required "ADMIN" rights in order to successfully access the WebPart for configuration. I am assumign this may be an error in how we installed, but am concerned that this may limit our deployment.

Can someone confirm that the rights to add and configure the Gauge and Chart webparts do not require Admin rights on the sharepoint server?  I would hope contributor rights woudl be enough.  Please advise.

Also, is this licensed for multi-server?  Or does each server require a unique license key?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Matthew,

Generally you need admin rights when you install in order for the web parts to get registered correctly in SharePoint. The user that access the webparts must also have some rights on the server in order to read the generated images files (not required when the image output is done via axd) and rights for accessing the database configured through the designer. It is generally not a problem to assign the everyone account or a domain group the users belong to (if they are part of a domain) with rights to the folders used by the chart / gauge to write temporary images and web parts state.

Yes, the licensing is per server, we are providing volume licensing discounts. We can also create a multi / any CPU Key.
