Items on this tab

Items on the License Information tab
Item Notes
Support plan expiration date The date on which your support plan with Sage Customer Support expires.
Number of requests which exceeded use count (last 90 days) Displays the number of times the request for licenses failed in the past three months because there were not enough licenses available. If there are a significant number of requests, you may want to acquire additional licenses.
Last license information update

The last date on which your licenses were verified with Sage's license server. If your system cannot connect to Sage for several days, you receive a message indicating there is a connection problem. See Troubleshooting license server issues for more information.

Licensed modules

Displays a list of licenses available to this server, based on the products you have purchased from Sage. When you purchase new products, the licenses for those products are listed here.

One column shows how many licenses are checked out from this license server to local machines.

Update license information

Click to update the license information manually. This connects your server to the Sage license server, where your current license information is stored, and it updates the information on this window. This also creates entries in the event log. View the event log to monitor the success of your license activations.

If you are using multi-server license administration, ensure you have the proper allocations set under Multi-server licensing before you update your license information.

Deauthorize license server

Typically, this would be used if you are moving Sage Estimating's license server from one machine to another machine.

Important! You need to deauthorize the old server in the License Information tab before you authorize Sage Estimating's license server on a new server.

Multi-server licensing This allows you to allocate your Sage licenses to multiple servers. For example, this could happen if you have several corporate offices and want to use separate licenses for each office or if you want to reserve a certain quantity of license uses for a specific group of people. See Multi-Server License Administration window for more information.
