Question

What is No. of Site Collections (per User)?

Answer

This is the number of Site Collections that this tool is going to manage, it is per end user (who will install this tool on their machine). The No. of Site Collections should include all Site Collections across all web applications and farms that will be managed by the tool.

Once you use the tool to build a report, fix links, move content, etc - a Site Collection License will be allocated for the Site Collection(s) involved. You can change Site Collections licensed if a Site Collection was used as a test or added by mistake, by contacting Technical Support.

For Example:

If you have to create a Broken Link report using the SharePoint Broken Link Manager tool, and you only need to scan the HR site collection. Then the number of Site Collection licenses needed would be 1.

If you have 5 Site Owners and each are responsible for 1 Site Collection, you would select 1 for "No. of Site Collections (per User)", and select 5 for "No. of Users (who will use this product)".

If you have 100 Site Collections and 2 users who will be responsible for 50 site collections each, you would select 50 for the "No. of Site Collections (per User)" value, and select 2 for "No. of Users (who will use this product)".

If you have 1 Site Collection and 3 users who will be responsible for the same 1 Site Collection, you would select 1 for the "No. of Site Collections (per User)" value, and select 3 for "No. of Users (who will use this product)".
