Working with Licenses

Expand or collapse content Version 7.0 and higher

Navigate to the "Licenses" tab on the "Settings" page. The Licenses tab allows the Work-Relay Admin to enter license keys and manage Work-Relay users.

Providing a license key

  • Click the "Enter License Key" button to open the entry form:
  • Enter or paste the license key provided and click "Apply":

Your license information will now be visible.

Licenses can be generated with different restrictions and permissions. The following licenses are visible in the screenshot below:

  • Work-Relay Admin - Assigned to users that need permissions to manage the Work-Relay application as a whole, as well as use, create, and manage processes, forms, and actions.
  • Work-Relay User - Assigned to users that need permissions to work with processes and forms, but not to create and manage them.
  • Work-Relay Platform User - Assigned to users that need similar permissions as the Work-Relay User license above, but have a Salesforce Platform user license, rather than a full Salesforce license.
  • Work-Relay Day Pass - Assigned to users that need similar permissions as the Work-Relay User license above, but customers are billed only for the days in which an assigned user performed allowed activities. See the end of this article for further information about this licensing model.

The license key determines the Total License Amount for each license. Licenses have expiration dates, according to a customer's contract - don't forget to renew your license!

Licenses may be deleted via the "Delete" link. When clicked, this link will show a confirmation popup to prevent accidental deletion. This feature deletes the licenses for all users assigned to the license.
