    Take into account that when a license key is activated in a server (or computer) you have an installation.

     

    To Activate Licenses you need to access the License Administration option found in the Initial page or in the Help tab, in Bizagi Studio or the Management Console.

    Important

    When making changes in important aspects of the hardware in your infrastructure setup, such as using a different production server (or a different network card -NIC), contact our support team in order to make sure that your license is adjusted to your new hardware.

     

    The activation of the key and the license renewal requires an Internet connection. If for some reason this is not possible read here how to activate a license key in a server without Internet Connectivity

     

    Applying user based licenses to your installation

    There are some considerations when applying already purchased user based licenses to users within an installation.

     

    To assign a license to a user, open its properties through the Work Portal > Admin > Users menu. Edit the user you want to activate and under the User Configuration tab, check the Active checkbox, save your changes when finish.

    To verify the number of used user licenses, select the Licenses item in the Admin drop-down menu.

     

    Licenses21_a

     

    The maximum number of users that are allowed to be active will be the number of users assigned in your licenses. Admon is considered as a user in Production environment.

     

    If you have fewer user licenses than the number of active users in the Work Portal, an error will be displayed preventing anyone to access the Work Portal. Make sure you deactivate enough users until the number of active users are fewer than the user licenses assigned to the machine. This must be done before activating the license.

     

    Licenses19_a

     

     

    When creating a user in a licensed installation, Bizagi will automatically set the Active property to enabled, thus, using one license.

     

    When you are running out of user licenses, a message will appear at the top of the users window rising awareness of how much user licenses you have used.

     

    Licenses22_a

     

    If you are creating a user when you have ran out of licenses, an error will be displayed. You need to purchase more licenses or deactivate another user.
