How to: Set Up License Manager

Fill in the HO Distribution Location field with the Head Office location.
Note: If the value in the Local Distribution Location is the same as in the HO Distribution Location field, this environment is the Head office.

Click the Setup action, and then Activate.
Insert the license key provided by LS Retail in the License Key field, and select the relevant Environment Type that you are setting up.

After a few moments you should see a similar result as in the below image. The list of units displayed will depend on what your license covers.

You can create demo units. The demo units will expire 30 days after being activated.

In the License Manager Setup page, click the Setup action, and then the Demo License (SPG) action.

At any time you can activate a license key that will replace the existing Demo.

With an active license you need to assign BC Users to LS Base Units.

This triggers a call to the License Manager API. If an API call is not possible, a message is be displayed. You will not be able to update the units.
A page is displayed where you can see the quantity of LS Base Units you have, how many are assigned, and how many are free to be assigned.
A list with of users already assigned to LS Base Units is also displayed.
Note: These units are for the entire License Key, they are not company or tenant specific.
To assign more users, click the Assign Units action.
A page pops up with a list of all your Full Users. On this page you can identify the ones already assigned. Select one or more users to be assigned and click OK.
To unassign users, select one or more, and click the UnAssign Units action.

After you activate a license, different actions become available. These actions let you update the environment type and also the license key.

Click the Show License Details action on the License Manager Setup page to see more information about the license.
