Licences

Licences are their own item in the Agency admin sidebar, under Licences. The screen title is Licences, and the line under it is Manage product licences.

This screen is the licence you issue for a product. The panel’s own install licence is on Licence.

A sale can create a licence when the product requires one. You can also create a licence here. The list uses the same layout as Services. The form does not. The second screenshot is the licence form.

The licence document ships with the panel

How to connect your own product through the API, and how to fit the licence check to that product, is written in the licence document included with the panel files.

The list​

New licence adds a licence. Show sets how many rows the page holds. The usual count is 10. Search filters the rows.

The shared Agency list layout, with search, rows, and row actions

Each row shows:

  • Licence key.
  • Product. The product the licence belongs to.
  • User. The member the licence is issued to, when one is set.
  • Type. Site, user, or domain.
  • Activations. How many times it has been activated, against the maximum.
  • Status.
  • End date.
  • Actions. Edit opens the form.

When the list is empty, the table says No licence found. The line under it states that no rows are on the page. Previous and Next stay in place.

Create and edit​

New licence opens an empty form. Edit on a row opens the same form with that licence filled in. The screen title for a new record is New licence, and the line under it is Create a new licence.
