The functionality of the DICENTIS Conference Devices and DICENTIS Wireless Devices can be extended by the use of optional licenses. The Voting at Seat license enables the voting functionality of a DICENTIS Extended, multimedia Device or DICENTIS wireless Device Extended. The number of licenses has to correspond with the number of devices that require voting. The license is supplied as an activation code and is enabled in the same way as the other activation codes in the DICENTIS and DICENTIS Conference System.
Functions
The “Voting at Seat” license enables a secure voting feature in the DICENTIS Conference System that is optimized for councils and parliaments. During a voting session, each licensed DICENTIS multimedia, Extended Device, or DICENTIS wireless Device Extended can be used to cast a vote for a selected answer set. The voting choice and totals can be displayed on the DICENTIS multimedia, Extended and wireless Extended Device, which ensures an effective and efficient decision process.
