Allocate Entitlements

Once purchased, entitlements
must
be allocated to the specific application or service for which they were purchased.
To Allocate an Entitlement
NOTE: Purchased entitlements appear in the FactoryTalk Hub View Entitlements page within 1-2 hours.
Once purchased they must be allocated
to an organization. However, if you have overlapping times on
platform entitlements
you have the option to decide if you want to replace the current entitlement now or in the future. This lets you set the effective date of the new entitlement after the current entitlement expires so that you can upgrade your license without worrying about timing. While the new entitlement is waiting to be activated it is marked as pending. While pending you have the option to deallocate the entitlement and use it somewhere else.
Only the owner and administrator of an organization can allocate entitlements. The
Allocate
button is disabled for non-administrators.

  5. Locate the entitlement that you want to assign to your organization and select
    Allocate

    The entitlement is allocated to the organization.
The allocated entitlement is now available in the application to which it was allocated. Additional steps may be required for your application. See the application documentation for details.
