Once logged in to License Hub, the customer will be able to see all product keys purchased by them. The admin can pass on the product key to their team members who will be using Sahi Pro.
The end user (who has installed Sahi Pro on their system) will need to provide their product key when Sahi Pro starts for the first time.
Product keys can be of two types: User or Concurrent.
- User license product keys are bound to a machine. Each user will get their own specific unique key. User license can not be used to run Sahi Pro Runner.
- Concurrent license product keys are not bound to a machine, but only limited number of users can work with it at any given time. There will mostly be one common key for a team. Two (2) Sahi Pro Runner licenses are provided free with each Concurrent license.
When logged into the License Hub, the customer's Admin can see
- All product keys (future, current and expired keys)
- Leases against each product key
- Usage report for each product key
For user licenses, the admin can bind it to another mac address if the end user's machine has changed.
For more details on usage, refer below.
