Using Author-it's License Assignment Configuration you can reserve licenses for users, groups, or other libraries. For example, you can reserve licenses for a specific time period (days, weeks, etc) for a selected group of users, ensuring they have full access to resources needed to complete a special project.
Note: This step is optional. You'll only assign license tokens if you want to reserve or restrict the available licenses for certain users, groups, or libraries.
- Open the library using Author-it Administrator.
- Select Security > Allocate Licenses.... The License Allocation window opens.
- Select the License Token then right-click and click New.... The License Assignment configuration window opens.
- Click an option under Assign to:
- User: assigns the token allocation to an individual user. Select the user from the drop-down list.
- Group: assigns the token allocation to a group. Any users assigned to that group can use the token. Select the Group from the drop-down list.
Note: Options in the drop-down lists for the user names and groups are populated from the Author-it Administrator's Users and Groups.
- Library: assigns the token allocation to a library. Select a Library from the Name drop-down list, or click the browse button to open the New Related Library window. Click the browse button and select the library.
- Select the Minimum and Maximum number of tokens you are assigning to this configuration.
- To reserve tokens select the minimum number of tokens that will be made available. Individual users have one token assigned, while groups and libraries can have multiple tokens assigned.
- To restrict tokens select the maximum number of tokens that will be made available. As an example, selecting 1 token will restrict usage of the functionality, while selecting 0 tokens will remove the functionality for the selected user or group.
- Select the start and finish dates for the time period the tokens will be assigned in this configuration.
- Click OK to assign the tokens and close the configuration window.
