The use of the Connexys application is based on licences. There are two types:
- site licences
-seat licences
Site licence
In general our application is delivered as a site licence. This allows for the use of the application for every active user.
Seat Licence
In case your organisation makes use of more applications then the Connexys application we switch the licence to a Seat licence. Cases when this is applicable is when an org has additional Platform licences configured or in case the org is used in combination with Salescloud licences.
Switching to a Seat Licence is an administrative action on the Connexys side but requires you to set access to the application for the intended users. This setting is there to prevent misuse of our product.
This is what you need to do when your org is using more then the Connexys org:
1) Tell Connexys that you are using more then the Connexys app (We will do a survey every now and again and notice it ourselves)
2) Agree on a conversion date where Connexys will switch the licence type and you can set the access to the intended users
3a) On the conversion date, Connexys will setup the ordered amount of seats for your company/org in our ISV-application.
3b) On the conversion date, this is what must be done by a (delegated) administrator.
IMPORTANT: Do not forget to add a license to the public/site user
