Actions

Depending on your permission level on the License Management role object, you have access to different actions:

Permission

Description

None

  • Activate License: Activate a license for the selected product. Please refer to Activate License for details.

  • View personal MetaDefender Cloud licenses

  • View personal MetaDefender IT Access License

View Only

  • Pin: Move the license to the top of the section for better visibility and quick access.

  • See full License History: View the full license history (expired ones are hidden by default).

  • Download Product Installer: Open the installer download dialog.

  • Filter by Product name, license status, license type, Owner (including No owner) and Deployment Owner. You can select several owners in each owner filter. A license matches the Deployment Owner filter when any of its deployments has a selected owner.

  • Search by License key, Product name, Note, PO Number and deployment description. A license matches a description when any of its deployments, whatever its status, has a matching description. Search matches part of the text, is not case-sensitive, and works together with the selected filters.

Full Access

  • View organization's MetaDefender Cloud licenses

  • Edit: Edit the key owners, note and PO Number of the license. This action replaces Edit note. See Edit a license.

  • Manage Active Deployment Report: see every active deployment associated with a license key and, and deactivate Core deployments. Further reading at Manage Active Deployments

  • Edit deployment: In Manage Active Deployments, edit the description and deployment owners of an active deployment. See Edit a deployment.

Info

If you're not belong to any organization, you’ll only see the cloud-based product licenses specifically associated with your personal user account.

Edit a license

As a user with Full Access on the License Management role object, you can record who owns a license key, add a note, and add your own PO Number. For licenses of a sub-organization, you need Full Access on License Management - Sub Organizations (see Organization and its sub-organizations' Licenses).

  1. In the On-Premises Product Licenses list, click the three-dot icon next to the license key.

  2. Select Edit.

  3. In the Edit License dialog, update any of the following fields:

    • Key Owners: select one or more active users of the organization that owns the license key. You can search by name or email, and there is no limit on the number of owners.

    • Note: your remarks for the license key.

    • PO Number: optional free text, up to 50 characters, for your own reference such as internal tracking, renewals or finance. It is not OPSWAT's order number and is never filled in automatically.

  4. Click Save. The button stays disabled until you change a value.


You can edit active, expiring and expired licenses. The Owner and PO Number of a license key are also shown in See full License History.

Info

Key owners are for your records. They do not change anyone's permissions, and License Management still shows every license to users with access. Their only effect is on which license keys are suggested to a user when they submit a support case, together with the Unassigned license keys visible setting.

When a user is removed from your organization or set to Inactive, they are removed from the owners of every license key of the organization. Every edit is recorded in Event History.

License Expiration Notifications

My OPSWAT Portal provides function called Critical Alerts Users allowing individuals on this list receive to receive automatic alerts for upcoming license expirations—60 and 30 days in advance, enabling better planning and prioritization.


Settings:

  • For organization admins: Add add any email address to the list, even if it is not a registered user in My OPSWAT Portal by navigating to My Organization > License > Critical Alerts Users > Add Users

Licenses across your organization hierarchy

If your organization has sub-organizations, this reminder can cover the whole hierarchy in one email. Which version you receive depends on your permissions:

  • Without View Only or Full Access on the License Management - Sub Organizations role object, you receive the reminder for your current organization only. This is also the version sent to any address on the Critical Alerts Users list that does not belong to a My OPSWAT account. (See Sub-organization Custom Roles for details.)

  • With View Only or Full Access on License Management - Sub Organizations, you receive one reminder covering your main organization and each of its sub-organizations. The licenses are grouped under Main Organization, then one group per Sub-Organization.

Both versions are sent from noreply@opswat.com, with the subject [My OPSWAT Portal Notification] - Renewal needed within 30 days or [My OPSWAT Portal Notification] - Renewal needed within 60 days. They cover purchased licenses expiring within 60 or 30 days, and are sent once a day only when there are expiring licenses to report.

A license held by both a main organization and a sub-organization is listed once, under the sub-organization.


For organizations with sub-organizations, refer to additional details at Organization and its sub-organizations' Licenses
