Licensees

Learn about licensees in the Marketplace Platform.

A licensee is a specific person or a department within your account that receives the license to use the product.

Licensees are connected to buyers and sellers in your account. An account can contain multiple licensees, but a licensee can only be linked to one buyer and one seller. For more information, see Key Concepts.

In the SoftwareOne Marketplace, only account administrators can create and manage licensees.

Viewing and managing licensees

Account administrators can view and manage licensees from the Licensees page.

When you open the page, all licensees within the account are displayed. For each licensee, you can view key details such as name, address, status, and more. You can use the sort and filter options to customize the list and show or hide specific columns as needed.

The Licensees page also shows whether the licensee is configured as a resale licensee. A resale license resells products purchased through the Marketplace, instead of using them for self-consumption.

From the Licensees page, you can manage licensees by updating licensee details or enabling and disabling a licensee.
