5.2.1 Licensing

Crowd licenses are based on the number of end-users who will login to one or more of the applications that are integrated with Crowd. Evaluation licenses may be obtained from the Atlassian website. When you obtain an evaluation license — or purchase, renew or upgrade your license — you will receive a license key via email. You will need to enter your license key into your Crowd server as follows.

Note:

If the number of users who are allowed to login to the Crowd framework exceeds the user license limit, noone will be able to login to any applications (other than the Crowd Administration Console). If this happens, you can obtain a temporary license from Atlassian.

To minimise your licensing cost, if you have more than one directory, ensure that the same user does not exist in multiple directories. It is also recommended that you alllow only particular groups to login to each application, rather than entire directories. Note that a mapped application can 'see' all users in a directory, even if not all of them can login to the application. For example, a Human Resources application might be mapped to your entire Active Directory server, but only the HR group is allowed to login to the application.

To enter your license key,

Login to the Crowd Administration Console.
Click the 'Options' link in the top navigation bar.
Click the 'Licensing' tab.
Type (or paste) your license key into the 'License' field.
Click the 'Update' button.

Your Server ID is generated automatically, based on your license key.
