Understanding Licenses in Configura Software

When you're working with Configura’s software (like CET or Spec) you need a license to access the tools. There are two main roles when it comes to licenses: the License Administrator and the User. 

The License Administrator – The Gatekeeper

The License Administrator takes care of licenses for your company or team. They do not need to use the software themselves, but they are generally responsible for:

• Buying licenses
• Assigning them to team members (Note: Spec licenses are found under "Other" under active licenses)
• Reassigning (recalling) them if someone leaves
• Renewing licenses or editing auto billing details

In short, the License Administrator is the behind-the-scenes operator who makes sure everyone has the tools they need.

The User – The One Using the Software

The User is the person who actually works in Spec or another Configura product.

As a User, you will:

• Download the software to your computer. 

• Log in and start working. Once your License Administrator assigns you a license, you simply log in, open the software, and begin designing or developing.

Users do not need to manage licenses. Your only task is to confirm that the License Administrator has assigned you to the correct products.

Please reach out to the Configura Help Center if you need more help. 

Note: Some Spec licenses are still being managed under License Manager. If this is the case for you, help pages are located here: Video Tutorials – Configura Help Center and Installing Spec and Notify with License Manager – Configura Help Center
