Allocate licenses to administrators

The myQNX License Manager enables a flexible approach to license management by supporting up to 20 administrators for each product serial number. For instance, administrators A, B, and C can manage product 1; administrators A, E, and F can manage product 2; administrators A, D, and G can manage product 3, and so on.

Allocation procedure

If you're a corporate buyer with administrator rights, this flexibility makes it easy to delegate day-to-day license management to development managers or IT staff. If you're a development manager, this same flexibility lets you share your administrator rights with colleagues who can serve as your backup.

Note:
We recommend that at least one person have administrator rights to all of the products that your company licenses. This approach ensures a global view of all licensing activities. You can subsequently transfer this responsibility to another individual, should the need arise.

To allocate administrator rights for a product:

  1. Open the myQNX License Manager: https://www.qnx.com/account/dashboard/
  2. Click the product’s Managers field, then click Allocate.
  3. Enter the email addresses of up to 20 managers, then click Save.

    Each address must be associated with a valid myQNX account. You can enter the addresses in multi-line or comma-delimited format.

To allocate administrator rights for multiple products all at once:

  1. In the first column on the left, click the checkbox of each product that you want to allocate. To select all products, click the checkbox at the top of the column.
  2. Click the dropdown icon at the top of the column, then select Allocate Selected Products to Managers.
  3. Enter the email addresses of up to 20 managers, then click Save.

When you allocate administrator rights for a product:

  • The manager will see the product when they log in to the myQNX License Manager. The manager can then begin to deploy licenses to users.
  • The manager will, within a few minutes, receive an email notification.
Notice:
When you allocate administrator rights to a myQNX account, the owner of that account can subsequently allocate administrator rights to any other myQNX account. Also, any administrator for a product can deallocate the rights of any other administrator for that product.

Deallocation procedure

To deallocate administrator rights for a product, whether your own or those of another manager:

  1. Click the product’s Managers field.
  2. Click Deallocate next to the email of the manager you want to deallocate.

You can deallocate administrator rights for a product only if you are a manager for that product.
