Licensing
App license is maintained in the Licenses TSI, but you can also maintain the app license directly in the AppCenter TSI itself.
AppCenter TSI
Here, you can add a new license or update an existing license. The information will be shown in the app's License info tab.
License sub- types
• On/Off
A license key is required to activate an app (except for apps created by yourself - when you have an IDE license).
• Named user
This license type restricts the number of users that are linked to the app (through their user groups).
License main types
Each of these sub-types could be present as either the following (main) type:
• a regular license.
• a test license (can be used to test apps in a non-production environment).
• a trial license (can be used to try out apps in non-production environment - see
Free trial (Marketplace).
Validation
• For apps implementing a JAX-RS endpoint, a check will be performed to verify that only users linked to the app that implements this endpoint can access it.
• A standard named user license check will verify wheter the number of linked users does not exceed the number in the license and its expiry date.
Example
When you link a user to an app (or change the users in a user group) and there is a named users license for the app, then the number of linked users is checked.
• Each license can have an expiry date. After this date, the app can no longer be used.
