Home Company is a company that allows its members to use the company's licenses on another company's BIMcloud SaaS.
Activating and deactivating portable licensing
On the Company profile page, the Administrator and Contract Manager have access to the BIMcloud settings section. If this option is enabled, the compatible licenses can be set to portable during the license assignment process.
- The function can be deactivated at any time, and it has a global effect on all licenses that were previously set as portable.
- The BIMcloud settings section is hidden from the Company Members, they can check information about their license portability on the Cloud licenses page.
To facilitate the portability configuration for already assigned licenses, a wizard is displayed when the function is activated:
Note: The portability of the licenses can also be configured later on the Cloud licenses page.
Setting up the license portability status with the assignment action
If the license portability feature is enabled on the Company profile page and the Administrator or Contract Manager assigns a supported license to a Member or Group, the assignment function displays an additional dialog box. The license portability status can be set at this stage.
The actual portability status of the licenses can be checked in the overview screen of the Cloud licenses. The symbol of the open padlock stands for the portable license, while the closed padlock stands for the license that can only be used in the Home Company:
Changing the license portability status for an already assigned license
The Administrator or Contract Manager can change the portability status of an assigned license at any time on the Cloud licenses page by activating the detailed view.
Note: The unassigned licenses have no portability status, it is not possible to configure this setting before assignment.
