Managing Licenses

Overview

Licenses for the following applications are managed from within Eleveo User Management:

  • Quality Management

  • Workforce Management

  • their additional modules (Conversations Explorer, WFO Analytics, eLearning, SpeechRec, Generative AI).

Call and Screen Recording licensing is handled separately. User Management itself doesn't require any additional licenses.

Uploading a license is the first task that should be completed after Deploying User Management. The above applications won't work without a valid license installed. License files can be obtained from Eleveo SaS using the Partner Portal. This page covers details related to license management.

Only an eleveo.admin user (or any user with a manage-licenses role assigned) is able to manage licenses.

Accessing User Management

If you are accessing User Management for the first time, proceed as described on the page Login to User Management.

Consuming a License

Licenses are consumed as soon as roles are assigned to users. The following rules apply to the way how licenses are assigned, and how this count is applied against the total number of licensed users:

  • if a user is enabled and has at least one application role assigned, this user is considered a user of this application and consumes one license

  • if an application role is assigned to a group, each group member will consume one license (ensure that the correct number of licenses are available!)

  • one user can consume the same license only once (no matter if a role is assigned to a user, to a group, or both)

  • users imported from User Federations (for example UCCE) also consume licenses - a 'first-come-first-serve' logic applies

  • the Default Users (eleveo.admin and eleveotrain) do not consume any license

Example:

There are 1000 users imported into User Management. The WFM_AGENT role was assigned to the 'AGENTS' group, containing 30 users, and the WFM_SCHEDULER was assigned to two users. As a result, 32 WFM licenses were consumed.

Types of Licenses

The following types of licenses can be issued:

  • commercial inactive – the first license file obtained from Eleveo SaS, used to generate an activation key in User Management

  • commercial active – the final license file provided by Eleveo SaS based on the activation key

  • temporary – license issued for a short period of time, without an activation key, can be used to evaluate the product

Grace Period

It is very important to activate the license file immediately. There is a 30 day grace period from the date of issue. At 00:00 hours on the 30th day, an inactive license stops working.

Expiration Period

When a license expires, access to applications is blocked. A new license file needs to be imported into User Management by eleveo.admin. To be notified in advance about license expiration, set the Expiration notification in days value on the Realm Settings page. To find more information, visit the page Managing Realm Settings.

Displaying License Information

To display license information in User Management, click User management > License management within the navigation tree on the left. The License Management screen will display. The table contains details of the uploaded license.

To be notified about the license expiration date in advance, go to Realm Settings and configure the Expiration notification in days value. An email will be sent to all users with the manage-license role, the defined number of days before the license expiration. Ensure that all these users have an email address configured in their settings.

Importing Licenses

The activation process consists of the following steps:

  1. Importing a commercial inactive license

  2. Activating a commercial inactive license

or

  1. Importing a temporary license.

To import licenses, access User Management using the URL https://<FQDN>/auth-login (as described on the page Login to User Management). Then click License Management within the navigation tree on the left. The License Management screen will display.

Check if the uploaded license is correct.

Displaying License Consumers

Licenses are consumed after users are assigned roles (more details can be found in the Consuming a License section above). To display users who consume a license, click on the View scope detail icon (an eye). The Detail pane will display. License consumers are displayed in the Members table.

If there is an attempt to exceed the number of licenses, the UM admin will get a message by email informing about which Eleveo realm is affected and which license-related application is trying to consume licenses above the limit. 

Users may experience issues accessing particular services until license usage is adjusted.

To extend the licenses, please contact your Eleveo sales representative or the Eleveo Sales team at sales@eleveo.com. If there is a technical issue, contact the Eleveo Support team at support@eleveo.com.
