Managing subscription licenses

A subscription license added into QorePortal will bind to organization licensing as ‘Subscription License Quota’. A subscription license quota can generate one or multiple activation licenses. Subscription license quotas can be assigned to sub organization. User can check the usage of each generated activation license. User can also check total usage of all generated activation licenses from subscription license quota.

Subscription License Quota

  • License quota represents a group of licenses of the same product.
  • License quota has capacity and usage
  • License quotas belong to an organization.
  • License quotas have two types: limit capacity and unlimit capacity
  • Subscription license quota can be assigned to sub organization with limit or unlimit capacity.
