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.

From the FactoryTalk Hub menu, select

Organizations

From the list of organizations, select the organization which you want to purchase the entitlements for.

From the FactoryTalk Hub menu, select

View entitlements

The new entitlement appears at the top of

All Entitlements

under

Available to allocate

IMPORTANT: To allocate an add-on entitlement you must first allocate a platform entitlement.

Verify that the correct organization name appears in the breadcrumb.

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

Allocate

next to the entitlement row.

Ensure that the entitlement, organization and allocated entitlements quantity are correct, then 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.
