Allocating Host Licenses to Tenants

If you have a pool of user, robot, and service licenses at the host level, you can allocate a custom number of those licenses to your organizations, thus licensing those organizations.

After you allocate licenses to organizations, organization administrators can further allocate those licenses to the accounts and tenants in their organization, as needed.

Note:

• The instructions on this page are for system administrators and refer to license allocation at the host level.

  If you are an Orchestrator administrator, follow the instructions in User license management or Legacy license management to allocate licenses for your organization.

• The amount of time it takes for changes to license allocation for an organization to be propagated to the Orchestrator tenant and to AI Center is set by the License.Cache.Expiration.Minutes parameter and it is set to 5 minutes by default. Do not change this setting to avoid causing configuration errors.
• Insights licenses must be activated at the organization level, as you cannot allocate Insights services from the host portal to organizations.

Allocating Licenses to Organizations

1. Log in to the host portal as a system administrator and navigate to the License page.
2. At the right end of an organization row, click Allocate Organization Licenses .

   The Allocate License panel opens at the right of the screen. Licenses are grouped in two sections: one for user licenses and another for robot and service licenses.

3. Edit the values to allocate the required number of each type of license to the organization.

   The number of licenses that you have available in the host license pool is shown on the right.

4. When you are done, click Save to allocate the licenses.

The allocated licenses are available within 5 minutes for the organization administrator to allocate them as needed in their organization.

Removing Host Licenses From an Organization

Important: Doing this leaves the organization as unlicensed and unusable.

1. Log in to the host portal as a system administrator and navigate to the Organizations page.
2. At the right end of the organization row, click and select Remove License Allocation.
3. In the confirmation dialog, click Remove to confirm the action.

All licenses that were previously allocated to the organization are returned to the host license pool within 5 minutes.
