License Management with the MSP360 Platform<\/h2>\nTrial Licenses<\/h3>\n
With MSP360, you can take a 15-day free trial of any product you need. Moreover, we don\u2019t limit the products\u2019 functionality during the trial, so you can test all the products on endpoints under your command to find out whether the solution suits your needs.<\/p>\n
To start a trial on a computer, go to the Downloads<\/strong> tab and switch on the required agent version. Then, download and install it on a computer.<\/p>\nOnce it\u2019s installed, you will need to assign that computer to a user in order to start the trial. To do this, go back to the MSP360 Web Console<\/strong>, Computers <\/b>tab, Remote Management<\/strong> section, and find the computer in question. Click Add User Account<\/strong> next to that computer and select the required user.<\/p>\n![\"add](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screenshot_159.png\")
<\/p>\n
During the trial, you can switch to the commercial license anytime. If you haven\u2019t switched to the commercial license manually at the end of the trial, the user\u2019s computer will be automatically granted an existing commercial license of the specified backup edition according to the license pool settings applied to that user.<\/span><\/p>\nTo specify the license pool settings, go to the <\/span>Organization<\/b> tab, <\/span>Users<\/b> section and edit the license pool settings of the required user.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"license](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/unnamed-11.png\")
<\/p>\n
Bear in mind that license pool settings can also be set for the company associated with that user. To check these settings, go to the Organization<\/strong> tab, Companies<\/strong> section and edit the license pool settings of the required company.<\/p>\n![\"license](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screenshot_160.png\")
<\/p>\n
Licenses tab<\/h2>\n
To start working with licenses, go to the Organization<\/strong> tab and select Licenses<\/strong>. You will see an overview of all the licenses you currently manage, including trial and activated ones. Click on the license type to see the expiration date and license details. By default, all licenses come with an auto renewal feature; you can also check the Next Renewal Date<\/strong> on this tab, unless it was cancelled manually. On this tab you can also delete multiple expired licenses in bulk. To do that click the Group Actions<\/strong> button on the right and choose an applicable option from the drop-down list. You can remove all expired licenses, remove expired licenses without auto renewal or remove expired licenses that are not activated or granted <\/span>here.<\/p>\n![\"Licenses](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_137.png\")

\n- Enable auto-renewal<\/li>\n
- Disable auto-renewal<\/li>\n
- Release license<\/li>\n
- Delete license<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

All licenses purchased by the main administrator are activated automatically, however, if administrator accounts purchase licenses, they should be activated manually. Manual activation is required for purchases with a formal quote as well. To activate the license, click the Activate License<\/strong> button in the upper-left corner and enter the license key sent to the purchase email.<\/p>\n![\"MSP360](\"https:\/\/www.msp360.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/\u0421\u043d\u0438\u043c\u043e\u043a-\u044d\u043a\u0440\u0430\u043d\u0430-2021-04-08-\u0432-11.51.52.png\")

How to Buy New Licenses<\/h2>\n
To purchase new licenses, click the Buy New Licenses<\/strong> button in the upper-left corner or click the green Buy New<\/strong> button in the upper-right corner of the navigation bar and specify the number of licenses you need. If this is your first license purchase in MSP360 Managed Backup, you will be offered a choice between yearly and monthly payment.<\/p>\nLicense Allocation<\/h2>\n
Within the MSP360 Managed Backup web console, you can configure license allocation for users or companies.<\/p>\n
To change the license allocation configuration for companies, proceed to the Organization<\/strong> tab and select Companies<\/strong>. Choose a company from the list, click Edit<\/strong> and choose License Settings<\/strong> from the menu. Once you\u2019ve changed the company settings, they will be applied automatically to all users within the company.<\/p>\nTo change the license allocation settings for users, create or edit a user\u2019s profile on the Organization<\/strong> tab, Users<\/strong> section. By default, licenses are allocated from the global pool, but you can switch them to the user pool to limit the number of paid licenses a user can activate.<\/p>\nPlease note that if a user is assigned to another company, the user's commercial licenses will be moved to another pool, which depends on the licensing mode used by both of these companies. If the user account is deleted, this user's licenses will return to the pool used to obtain licenses by this user.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
