Crowd licenses are based on the number of end-users who will log in to 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 or on the Atlassian website. You will need to enter your license key into your Crowd server as described below.

Note:

If the number of users who are allowed to log in to the Crowd framework exceeds the user license limit, no-one will be able to log in 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.
  • We recommend that you allow only particular groups to log in 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 log in 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 log in to the application.

To enter your license key,

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

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