How to Add Additional Licenses

The License screen allows you to maintain licenses for any BST Global products. Upon purchasing the use of a BST Global product or adjusting the number of employees for which you are licensed, you will be issued a license key. The license key determines the product you are licensed to use and a quantity of users (active employees) that can use the product.

If this is the first time that you are licensing the product, you will need to create a License for the product and then add the license key. Each license key has a date on which it becomes effective and, optionally, a date on which the license key will expire. For a license key to be effective, the current system date must be equal to or greater than the Effective Date and less than the Expiration Date if one has been provided.

Purchase Additional License Keys

When you purchase additional licenses to add an additional product or more users, you will be issued a license key. The license key will be sent in XML format and will be appended to your original license.

 

Note: For information on purchasing additional licenses, contact BST Global.

Copy the License Key

Once you have purchased a license, you will receive a license from BST Global. The license will be in XML format and will need to be appended to your original BST11 license.

  1. Open the license file in a text editor (e.g. Notepad or Notepad++).
  2. Copy the entire license key string. This will need to be pasted into your existing License document in BST11.

Add a License

Once you have purchased a license, you will need to append it your original license:

  1. In BST11, open your existing license document.
  2. In the License Key area, click the Add button
    A new line item is added.
  3. In the Key column, paste the license key. Make sure that you have copied the entire license key string from the XML file.
  4. Tab through the Effective Date, Expiration Date, and Quantity columns to auto populate the values based on the license.
  5. Save, Validate, and then Submit the updated license document.
