License allocations
The license allocation management in the XPhone Connect Server is not activated in the standard settings. That means that all licenses are allocated to all available users.
You can make license allocations for the individual locations by activating the license allocation.
This allocation can only be used by the respective location, even if there are licenses available at this location unless they are allocated to other locations.
This function is helpful in connection with individual location administrators . In this case, each location administrator can create and configure users without retracting licenses from other locations.
Making allocations
First, locations must be created in User management .
- If you use XPhone Connect Server > System settings > Licenses > License allocations in point License allocations: Clicking on Revising user licenses per location will list all created locations in a table.
You can see the users already created at each location in brackets.
You can see the number of available licenses in the top row.
To make an allocation of a location, click on the pen symbol .
Make the corresponding allocations, click on the floppy disc symbol to apply them or on the arrow to cancel.
Clicking on Save will apply all settings.
Hint
Please note that the respective number of licenses must be allocated when license allocation is activated for all locations. Otherwise, they will have no licenses by default.
