Assign license

Option 1 — Assign a license to one user

Find your product and license on the portal.
Enter the user and click Assign :
The portal will check if a SmartBear account is associated with the specified user.
- If an account is found, the portal will ask for your confirmation for the assignment. After you confirm, the portal will send an email to the user notifying them about the license assignment.
- If no account is found, the portal will show a message box asking you to invite the user:
  Click Invite User.
  The portal will create a new SmartBear account and will send a message to the corresponding address asking the user to complete the account creation. After this, they can download their SmartBear product, install it, and run it using the created account (see Activate and Use Licenses).
  If you need to assign a license to multiple users, use the bulk assignment procedure or share a license by using a link (see below).

Notice

You cannot use this procedure to assign a license to anonymous.user and system_admin.

Option 2 — Share a license by link

You can use this approach to quickly share licenses with your teammates. It works both for those who have a SmartBear account and for those who don’t have it yet:

Find your product and license on the License Management portal and click Share License by Link.
In the subsequent dialog box, click Generate to get a URL matching the license and then copy this URL to the clipboard:
Send the URL to those to whom you would like to assign the license. They will use it to get a license seat (see below).
You can send the link to the users who already have a SmartBear account and to those who don’t have it yet.
Important
After assignment, a Fixed User license can only be reassigned once per seat. Choose the assignees carefully for this license type!
After users receive the license URL, they should open it in a browser and follow the instructions they will see on the screen:
- They will need to log in to License Management. If they don’t have a SmartBear account for this, they need to create one (they can do this from the Login form).
- The portal will display a message box asking for the license acceptance. They need to confirm they will use the license:

Option 3 — Bulk assignment

You can use this approach to assign license seats to your teammates who have a SmartBear account:

Find your product and license on the portal and click Bulk Assign.
In the subsequent dialog, select the desired user accounts, click Enter the user email, and click Assign (this is disabled initially and remains disabled until you enter a valid email address):
If the person is using the license on two or more machines, the portal will display a dialog showing information on the machines used:

To resend an invitation, take the following steps:

After logging in, find and click on the Manage Organization Members icon near the top of the screen:
Click Invite to Organization.
Reenter the user's email address and click the Invite to Organization confirmation button. A success notification appears once the invitation has been resent.
