Assigning a License to the Library

Before opening your primary library for the first time you will need to assign the license. License allocation is completed in the Author-it Administrator.

There are two License Models to choose from. The license file is allocated to your primary, or main, library, and license tokens can then be allocated to any secondary libraries created from your main library.

• Load the License File: use this option when you assign the license to your primary, or source, library.
• Use an Author-it License Library: use this option to allocate license tokens from your primary library to any secondary libraries (for example, if you create a sandpit library). Tokens are automatically allocated to Target and Offline libraries when they are created.

License token allocation can also be set for specific users or groups. This allows you to reserve tokens for users, or alternatively restrict token use.

Reserving tokens

Tokens can be reserved for specific users or groups ensuring they have access to required functionality needed to complete a project. This is done by allocating a minimum number of tokens to the group or user. The tokens can also be reserved for a specific time period using the start and finish dates.

Restricting tokens

You can restrict the number of tokens that will be made available for groups or users. This is useful when you want to restrict the functionality for users or groups, for example, restricting which groups or users have access to Localization Manager.
