Professional licences belong to the company, never to a person. The owner (or an admin) appoints them to named people in "Licence admin".
Before you start #
You are the owner or an admin of a company, signed in and online. Licences are added by the BreedMap team during the beta.
The three licence forms #
- Single User: exactly one seat, appointed to one named person.
- Multi User: several seats that you appoint to named people. Unfilled seats wait in the reserve pool.
- Token pool: a balance of tokens that named token users spend while they work in the company workspace.
A Single User or Multi User seat gives Premium in the company workspace and in the holder's own Personal workspace while it is assigned. A token window gives Premium in the company workspace only.
Appoint, move or remove a seat #
- "Licence admin" > "Members" > a member's Actions > "Licence…".
- Pick a seat ("… seat (n free)"), "Token user", or "No licence (seat back to the reserve pool)".
"Licences" lists each plan with "x of y seats appointed" and the renewal date; "Show seats" opens the seat map. Someone with Premium another way (their own Single User licence, or a family licence) needs no company seat.
Token pool #
- "Licence admin" > "Token users" > "Add token user": pick a member and press "Add".
- The person opens the company workspace and works. One minute of use opens a 24-hour window for 10 tokens; nothing is charged before that minute.
- Within the window, closing the app, signing in again or using another device costs nothing: the window lives on the server.
- Tokens last 365 days from purchase.
- People who already have Premium another way use no tokens.
- A token window never counts as one of the paid seats, so a company can lend tokens even when every seat is taken.
- With fewer than 10 tokens left in the pool, token users cannot work in the workspace until it is topped up.
- "Remove" next to a token user stops them from using the pool.
No seat, no work #
All rights in a company workspace come from the company's licences. A member without a seat or an open token window sees "You have no seat in this workspace" and can only read. Owners and admins are no exception: they can manage licences without a seat but cannot edit items. The owner can appoint a seat to themself.
When a seat is taken away or a licence ends, the person loses working access at the next check (within about a minute). Items above the Free limits in their Personal workspace become read-only unless they have their own Premium. See Paid plans: what changes.
Activity log #
"Licence admin" > "Activity log" lists joins, leaves, role changes and seat changes, newest first.
