Overview

License activation determines which modules and products will be available in Essentials. You require license activation for each module or feature that you want to use (that is, you cannot use a module or a feature until the associated license is activated).

Other types of content, such as Catalog items, may be available even if the license for the associated module is not activated. However, this content will not be functional because it requires specific families that must be activated.

Only a tenant administrator can activate a license. Contact the GE Vernova Support team who will assign the permission sets for each feature related to the modules that you have purchased. In addition, contact the GE Vernova Support team if you want additional features or if you no longer want to use a feature.

For production versions of Essentials, after you have activated your licenses, you should be able to continue using the associated modules and products until you upgrade to a new version of Essentials. After you upgrade, the licenses will no longer be valid. Any modules that were previously available will no longer be accessible in the Essentials application. You will need a new license file in order to reactivate the licenses on the new version.

If you use temporary licenses for demo or trial purposes, your licenses will expire after a certain period of time, as determined by your trial agreement. After the licenses have expired, you will no longer be able to log in to the Essentials system. However, if you are a Super User, you will receive a prompt on the log in page that will allow you to load a new license file.
