About Accounts; About Obtaining A License Key - Dell PowerVault DL4000 User Manual

• A user registers on the license portal and creates an account.
• During the registration process, the license portal automatically creates a default root group for the account and
gives it a name.
• When the user logs into the portal, the license portal represents the user as an account for that session.
• For each account, a navigation tree is displayed in the right side of the license portal home page, which displays
all of the user's groups. A managed service provider can, for example, create separate groups for each of their
customers and then create subgroups to further segregate agents and cores. The user can also use groups to
view all cores and agents when logging on to the license portal.

• For managing customers, a user can generate reports for each account to view different statistics.
• The user can also change license pool information to control the number of non-trial licenses for accounts with
administrative rights.

About Accounts

When logged on, users are represented as accounts within the license portal. Accounts represent the user's primary
group, and users have access rights to groups. The access rights for a user are inherited by the subgroups to which
they are linked.
Within the AppAssure 5 License Portal, available user rights consist of the following:
Admin Full control to create, edit, and delete users, groups, cores, and agents.
Read Only Read rights for all of the information at the license portal. For example, groups, cores, agents,
licensing, and so on.
View Groups Only Only able to view information about groups. All customer information is restricted and
therefore inaccessible.

About Obtaining A License Key

download the Core. Enter the license key to download, manage, and configure the Core.
NOTE: When you register for an account, an e-mail with the license key and information on how to activate the
license is sent to the e-mail address you entered during the registration process.
