Creating Additional License Keys
Last updated
Last updated
When you sign up a client under an SPLA agreement, you have the ability to set a limit on how many concurrent users will be able to connect to the client's farm. This is achieved by creating additional license keys, also known as sublicenses.
Note: Please note that grace periods (expiration time) apply only to the primary license key.
When you create a license key, you can set the maximum allowed number of concurrent users and a custom expiration date for it. This way a client will not be able to go over the specified limit and use more licenses that you agree to provide them with.
For a single Site with 250 concurrent users or less, license checks are performed in real-time. For all other use cases, license checks are done periodically, which means that the specified license cap value should not be considered a hard limit.
To create a license key:
Log in to Parallels My Account.
On the Dashboard page, locate the Parallels Remote Application Server product card and click on Active subscriptions row.
Click the name of your SPLA subscription to open the subscription details page.
In the License Keys section, click the Create License Key button.
The License Key dialog opens where you can create a license key as described below.
The License Key dialog consists of three tab pages: General, License Administrators, and Reports.
On the General tab page, select the Max Number of Users Per Farm option and then specify the number of individual licenses (concurrent users) you want to assign to the new key.
To set the expiration date for the license key, do one of the following:
To renew the key with your SPLA subscription, select the Renew with Subscription option. The license key expiration date will be the same as your SPLA subscription. When the subscription renews, the key will be renewed with it.
To set a custom expiration date, clear the Renew with Subscription option and then set the date in the field provided. The key that you are creating will expire on the specified date.
See Configuring license usage reports.
The License Administrators tab page allows you to assign one or more administrators to the license key. This is useful if you have more than one administrator in your organization and would like to give them rights to manage a particular license key.
Please note that before you can assign an administrator to a license key, you have to invite them to join your organization's business account. For the instructions on how to do it, please read the Inviting users to join a business account section.
To assign an administrator to the license key, expand the drop-down list box, select an administrator, and click the Add button. Click Save to save your changes and close the dialog.
