Managing Licenses

ProfileUnity with FlexApp v6.8.0 introduced a new licensing service that is built into the ProfileUnity Management Console. The new licensing service provides improved license management and greater flexibility with real-time usage in your environment. Because the ProfileUnity Management Console is processing license requests in real-time, the console should remain up and running at all times.

By default, ProfileUnity is designed to operate in evaluation mode for up to 5 users and up to 15 days. After the evaluation period expires, administrators will no longer be able to download any changes to their Configurations. To request an extended evaluation period or to purchase a software license, contact the Liquidware Sales Team.

Activating or Updating Your Product License

ProfileUnity requires an activation process that generates a software license based on the combination of an Activation Code and a License Code. The two codes are combined in a secure Activation Portal and a unique license is generated for your ProfileUnity Management Console. License Codes are provided via email and sent to your organization’s ProfileUnity Administrator. Your Activation Code can be found in the ProfileUnity Management Console after installation. To activate your license, complete the following steps:     

  1. Log in to the ProfileUnity Management Console.
  2. Hover over your username in the top right corner of the screen.
  3. In the drop-down menu that appears, click the Licensing option.
  4. The Licensing Management screen opens.
  5. Copy the Activation Code that appears at the top of the screen.
  6. Open a separate browser window and go to the ProfileUnity Activation Portal
  7. Enter the Activation Code that you copied in Step 4.
  8. Enter your License Code, which can be found in the ProfileUnity License email that was sent to you from Liquidware.
  9. Click the Proceed button.
  10. Copy the generated license text.
  11. Return to the Licensing Management screen and click the Update button in the top right corner.
  12. Paste the license text into the space provided.
  13. Click the Import button.
  14. Click the Download or Deploy Client Settings button to copy an updated
    clientsettings.xml
    file to the ProfileUnity Deployment Path. This file is used by the ProfileUnity Client as end points are requesting a license when connecting back to the ProfileUnity Management Console.

Managing User Licenses

The Licensed Users tab contains two tables. The first list displays users who are currently licensed for ProfileUnity. The second list displays users whose license requests failed at login due to the number of users requesting licenses exceeding the license count. Administrators have the option to remove users from these searchable, sortable lists in order to free up licenses. The Export to file option allows you to export the users in that list to a CSV file.

Reporting

The Reporting tab in License Management allows administrators to see how many licenses they own and how many licenses are currently being used.
