Licensing for distributors

Every distributor needs his own license. These are made available in a license file. For an introduction, see Licensing. Part of your job as technical administrator is to manage the licenses and allocate them to the right distributors.
In the overview, you can see all the functions which are available to the distributor using his current license and in which scope he may use them. The symbols have the following meanings:

Status bar
The status bar shows how much of a limited function is being used. A red bar indicates that the limit has been reached.

To allocate a license to the distributor, use the Feature block drop-down menu below the table. All the distributors in the current license file are listed here.
If you want to provide a distributor with new features, you must request and install a new license; see Licensing. Then select the distributor from the Feature block drop-down menu and confirm the selection by clicking Save. When this is done, the distributor can use his new functions.
Caution: Before installing a new license, discuss this with the distributor. If the new license restricts features which were available under the previous license and which are in use in existing Web sites, the operation of these Web sites may be impaired.
