Before you begin using the License Manager, you should know:
• A project source must be pointing to the server (3-tier project source) or
repository (2-tier project source) you are using.
• The License Manager counts the number of licenses based on the
number of users with at least one privilege for a given product. The user
created by default with the repository (Administrator or any new name
given to this user) is not considered in the count.
• The License Manager counts both enabled and disabled users.
Disabled users are noted for reference; however, only enabled users
need be considered in your license count.
• The License Manager is not used for user or privilege manipulation;
such changes are accomplished through MicroStrategy Administration,
in the MicroStrategy Desktop.

The main window of the License Manager is used to determine the
number of licenses in use for a product(s) and consists of three main
columns: Available Groups, a list of the available products, and the
number of licenses in use by those groups for those products. A secondary
Product Information window displays related user and privilege details.
From the main window of the License Manager, you can upgrade your
current licenses by choosing Licenses from the File menu. A secondary
window displays the currently installed products and allows you to enter
a new CD key (provided by MicroStrategy) to automatically upgrade
licenses without having to reinstall products.
