pdmlink licenses

[goodwin]

Hello, everyone.
I ask you my question:
I wanted to understand how ptc licenses work.
We are now a company that has 15 cad pro/e stations and each has the intralink client 3.4 together with pro/e.
now we have 10 licenses of pro/e competitors. 5 were sufficient as we never reached the 15 licenses used in total.
from what I have understood now I should buy 15 licenses for each username that accesses pdmlink since even oral endorsers have to access the system (with domain username) to be able to approve the project.. .
If I understand correctly I should:
- purchase 15 pdmlink heavy user licenses (since each user has pro/e - including endorsers )

My question is:

1) Can't endorsers use a light license? and not heavy user? The thing I'm interested in is that when they have to approve, they can see the project before they approve it. .
In this regard, if I remove pro/e from the client, do the endorsers have a way to see the project before giving the approval? (maybe through product view lite or free? )
2) Do I also need to buy productview for each client?
3) Are oracle licenses still "inclusive" in pdmlink as in intralink 3.4?

thanks to all those who want to help me.

Given that I am not clear about the structure of your ut (approvals, users, competing licenses...), from the information in my possession I think you should buy a license for each user.
maybe in your case to bypass the obstacle you can make sure that the endorsers look at the project on product view, and then maybe they do a form to approve or not the work, certainly with all the limits and problems of the case, would be a little like to go back in time and work the old way...
