Assign licenses
A license decides what each user can do — view, collaborate, design, or administer the model. The License area shows what your organization owns and lets you hand it out to users and groups.
Prerequisites
- The Manage Licenses server permission.
Steps
- Open Admin → License. License Management shows what's licensed — your platform extensions and per-license totals; License Assignment is where you hand licenses out. The tiles at the top show each license with its used and available counts ("Unlimited" when uncapped).
- On License Assignment, pick the user or group, check the licenses to give them, and click Assign Licenses. Assigning to a group covers every member.
This page lists direct assignments only, one row per user or group. A member who is licensed through a group gets no row of their own here — the license sits on the group's row. To see what one user ended up with, open their Edit user page in User Management, or their own User Info profile tab: an inherited license reads "inherited from group group name" there, listed once for each group it comes from.
What each license level unlocks is in the License capability matrix; how licenses combine is covered in License mechanics.
Limitations
- Assigning more users than a license allows puts it into overuse: the page flags License Limit Reached, and the overused license stops working for everyone who holds it. A user whose only license is the overused one is signed out and can't sign in again until the overallocation is resolved; they see "You are not licensed to connect to this server." A user who also holds another license keeps that license's features. Users with the Manage Licenses server permission can still sign in to fix it — remove assignments or contact iGrafx for more licenses.
- Group assignments count every member, so a big group can tip a license into overuse at once.
