The License Administration window

Use the License Administration window to view and maintain your licensing information, which includes:

  • The number of license uses.

  • The users who are logged on to Sage Estimating.
  • Licensing events.

The licenses give you access to the various modules of Sage Estimating.

Your Sage Estimating software automatically retrieves license information from Sage every day. As you purchase or remove license activations, the Sage license server automatically updates this information in your system. You can also update the licensing information from Sage on demand.

Important! Licenses are granted to the specific computer where the licenses were initially activated. If you need to move your Sage Estimating server to a different server, you need to first deauthorize the licenses on the License Information tab on the old server before you can activate them on a new server.
