Over the years (and versions of eVSM) the concept of putting data fields on a value stream map hasn't changed much. At its most basic, each piece of data in eVSM is comprised of a Name, Value, and Unit, which is why we call the data shape the 'NVU'.
The automated migration to v9 (from v7 or v8) is pretty complete but not 100%. We recommend the following steps after migration:
When I give eVSM demonstrations, I often get a smile at the sheer speed of mapping and analysis and with the comment that "You look like you have done this before". I thought about what functions I use for mapping productivity.
The eVSM license is hardware locked, so each purchased license can be run only on the PC it is assigned to. You can transfer the license to another PC and/or another user. There is currently no charge for a license transfer.
Restrictions:
Help resources on using the software in v8 are described below.
First, select your application area:
Normally, only one version of eVSM can be installed on a PC. This is installed in the c:\Program Files(x86).. directories. For testing and training purposes, multiple versions of eVSM are sometimes necessary. These additional versions can be installed on the Desktop via a special download. These additional installations are contained in a folder on the Desktop called "Desktop eVSMvXXX" where XXX represents the version number. The files are delivered in a ZIP download which can be un-ZIP’d directly on the Desktop.
The eVSM license is hardware locked, so each purchased license can run on one machine only. The activation key assigned for a specific machine will work only on that machine. The activation key is locked to your machine's Hardware ID number, which can be viewed by clicking "Start>Programs>eVSM Software>Get Hardware ID ". You will see a dialog box similar to this:
Reseller and purchasing companies may purchase eVSM products on behalf of their customers. There is no separate reseller program, so no reseller discount. Standard pricing (as shown at https://evsm.com/shop) applies. Here is information resellers may need.
