Ownerships

Project ownership is determined by the TC license that is applied to a project. The account that owns the license is considered the project owner.

Entering ownership is necessary for ensuring that the licenses are assigned accurately and tracked within your organization. This is necessary for example for assigning the activated extensions licenses to a particular project. If the field stays empty, your extension licenses cannot be activated on any project.

 

NOTE: You can assign the ownership for the first time without any limitations. However, once the ownership is filled and some changes are required, approval from the authorized person is necessary.

 

When you log into the License Manager for the first time, the "Ownerships" dialog opens on the main page. Assign the desired ownerships to the current company. To confirm your choice, use the button "Assign".

Image
008

NOTE: When your company project ownerships are owned by multiple company members, invite them to the License Manager in the "Manage company account" to add the ownerships.

 

If you haven't assigned your ownership, you can do it later in the "Manage company account" in the account menu.

Image

Use the "Assign" button in the "Ownerships" field.

Image
010

 

The dialog window "Ownerships" opens. Select the desired ownerships to the current company and use the button "Assign".

To modify ownership settings, make the necessary changes in the "Ownerships" dialog window and use the button "Request".

The approval by the authorized person can last a few days.
