A licensee represents a specific person or a department within your account that receives the license to use the product.
Licensees are linked to the buyers and sellers in your account. There can be multiple licensees in an account, however, a licensee can only be linked to one buyer and one seller. You can learn about licensees in Key Concepts.
Initially, the licensees are created by SoftwareOne and mapped to the different buyers and sellers within your account. However, you can easily manage the licensees and create new ones through the interface.
Account administrators can access the Licensees page by navigating to the main menu and selecting Settings > Licensees.
The page displays all licensees that exist in your account. For each licensee, you can view the following details:

Actions - Displays options that allow you to manage your licensees. Depending on your permissions, you can update licensee information, and enable or disable a licensee.
The details page of a licensee displays the additional information about the licensee. You can open the details page by clicking the licensee name on the Licensees page.
The details page shows the licensee's name, marketplace ID, and status. It also shows the associated buyer and seller entities, and contains the following tabs:
