View Rds Licenses

[Emelia Lute]

Thereare several Microsoft 365 for business plans that you or your organization can choose from when you sign up for one of Microsoft's cloud services. After your organization signs up for Microsoft 365, the admin can assign different Microsoft 365 licenses to each user account. The different licenses include different services, such as SharePoint in Microsoft 365 and Skype for Business Online. See the different Office 365 for business plans.

If you work in an organization that uses Office 365 for business, use the steps below to find out what Microsoft 365 for business product or license you have. If you're an admin and you want to know what Microsoft 365 subscriptions have been purchased for your organization, follow the steps in What Office 365 for business subscription do I have? instead.

With the new UI on Cloud Administration, I can no longer see how many licenses I have left. I have to export a user list.

I used to be able to see the amount of licenses I had left by viewing "product access" or even in the "invite user" screen.

I actually cannot screenshot due to data privacy concerns. This wouldn't be on the Jira or Confluence administration, it would be for Administration as a whole for all Atlassian products my company uses.

Martyn,

I am not going to screenshot info which is no longer available, you know?

In addition, my.atlassian.com is not connected to my company's cloud instance with my account as we purchase licenses at an annual rate.

A license administrator can view license keys by product or by machine name. A license administrator can search to find specific information. For example, the license administrator can search the machine name to find out which license keys a user has activated.

To search for an email address using a license key, search for a license key on the Licenses page and select the product to display a list of the users associated with the license key.

Many Microsoft Entra services require you to license each of your users or groups (and associated members) for that service. Only users with active licenses will be able to access and use the licensed Microsoft Entra services for which that's true. Licenses are applied per tenant and don't transfer to other tenants.

When assigning licenses to a group or bulk updates, such as disabling the synchronization status for the organization, any user whose usage location isn't specified inherits the location of the tenant.

Not all Microsoft services are available in all locations. Before a license can be assigned to a user, you must specify the Usage location. You can set this value in Identity > Users > All users > select a user > Properties. When assigning licenses to a group or bulk updates such as disabling the synchronization status for the organization, any user whose usage location isn't specified inherits the location of the tenant.

Licenses can also be assigned directly to a user from the user's Licenses page. If a user has a license assigned through a group membership and you want to assign the same license to the user directly, it can be done only from the Products page mentioned in step 1 only.

You can remove a license from a user's Microsoft Entra user page, from the group overview page for a group assignment, or starting from the Microsoft Entra ID Licenses page to see the users and groups for a license.

When an on-premises user account synced to Microsoft Entra falls out of scope for the sync or when the sync is removed, the user is soft-deleted in Microsoft Entra ID. When this occurs, licenses assigned to the user directly or via group-based licensing will be marked as suspended rather than deleted.

You can use PowerShell for Microsoft 365 to view details about the available licensing plans, licenses, and services in your Microsoft 365 organization. Every Microsoft 365 subscription consists of the following elements:

Licensing plans These are also known as license plans or Microsoft 365 plans. Licensing plans define the Microsoft 365 services that are available to users. Your Microsoft 365 subscription may contain multiple licensing plans. An example licensing plan would be Microsoft 365 E3.

Services These are also known as service plans. Services are the Microsoft 365 products, features, and capabilities that are available in each licensing plan, for example, Exchange Online and Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise (previously named Office 365 ProPlus). Users can have multiple licenses assigned to them from different licensing plans that grant access to different services.

Licenses Each licensing plan contains the number of licenses that you purchased. You assign licenses to users so they can use the Microsoft 365 services that are defined by the licensing plan. Every user account requires at least one license from one licensing plan so they can sign in Microsoft 365 and use the services.

The Azure Active Directory module is being replaced by the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK. You can use the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK to access all Microsoft Graph APIs. For more information, see Get started with the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK.

We have users like "purchasing agents" who only log into Windchill to grab a .pdf of a drawing to send to a supplier. They don't create objects, or kick off any workflows and yet we are required to pay $300 a year for a license for them. This seems rather pathetic and greedy for PTC. There should be an out of the box Profile like "guest" that is read only that admins can assign users to that doesn't require a license.

Prior to 11.1, licenses were not checked. Our original system admin put everyone into Windchill, almost 400 users at the time. As we approach 11.1 installation, we removed almost 300 user names from Windchill and had to buy a mix of new Author and View licenses.

It's the classic, "If I paid to create the data (in Creo), and I paid again to store the data (in Windchill), why do I have to pay again to view the data? Software companies are in the business of making money, and they are going to do that any way they can. A couple of options:

1.) Store copies of the data (like PDFs) outside of Windchill. Dump them to a shared network drive or someplace else that can be accessed by anyone without needing a Windchill license. It is possible with a small add-on (or your own customization) to get Windchill to automatically export these files every time something is created or updated.

2.) Get a block of 'Active Daily User' licenses for Windchill. Each of these licenses will allow a 'view-only' type user to access Windchill for a 24 hour period. At midnight the license becomes available again for someone else to use. If you have a large group of very infrequent users, a small number of these licenses can work very well. (We have 10 of them covering roughly 200 occasional users and they are almost never all in use at the same time.)

Is there a way to see the current OS license that is installed? We have recently had the number of user licences increased and now want to check that this has been applied, I'd hoped this would be in an obvious place like the environment or security but can't see anything that shows the current license (just being able to see the number of enabled users that the license allows would be a good start).

Hi Ian,

I am not aware of viewing the user licenses from the frontend. The license is copied and installed on the back end. Note that there are different license type you can purchase and which will affect the users access to artifacts and associated OS offerings (Interactive, View, Restricted, Third Party access, Financial Close - those are user types). Note also that if only the "enabled" users are counting, not the total you see under Users.

The easiest is probably to check your contract with OS.

Have a good day,

Nic

Thanks all for these suggestions, unfortunately we don't seem to be able to see the actual license info we need, though your suggestion aricgresko gets us closest. Unfortunately, for reasons that completely baffle me, there is no real time view of license info, this should be something that is available (probably in the environment view). I'll raise an enhancement request for this I think, though for something so fundamental it seems disappointing to have to ask for it.

We specifically wanted to see the number of users that the license enforces, I guess we could maybe hack something together and combine different tables together to get the answer, but really this is such a simple and fundamental piece of information it should be readily available to be seen (maybe in the environment tool) without having to dive into system database tables I think.

The license key does show number of users enforced. The second field is the number of users allowed by the license. If it shows 999999 then the license allows unlimited users, otherwise it should show the exact number of users allowed. If you are looking to see the number of users remaining...then you would have to calculate the difference between the number of users in the license & the number of users in system security that are enabled (OS does not count disabled users).
