Licenses

The PPM Administrator application shares product license information across the entire Deltek PPM product suite.

Use this form to delete a license, assign/unassign a user to/from a license, upgrade a software license, and determine if your company is exceeding the amount of purchased licenses.

This form presents information in two views (Licenses Detail View and Licenses List View), which dictate how PPM Administrator displays licenses. For details on how to switch between views, see the corresponding description in the table below.

To access this form, see Display the Licenses Form.

Field Description
+ New License Click this button at the upper right of the Licenses form to add a license. Enter information for the license on the various fields on Licenses Detail View.

Click this icon to display the Licenses List View. Fields are displayed in columns in a grid, rather than on separate tabs of the form. In each grid, you can display and edit data for multiple records at one time, with data for each record displayed in a row. This makes it easy to compare and update multiple records at one time because you do not have to open individual records. For more information, see the Columns on the Licenses List View description on this page.

You can add, remove, or change the order of the columns in the grid. For more information about the common buttons and options and how they function, see Basics .

Click this icon to switch to Licenses Detail View, and edit the contents of a single record. All fields for the selected record are displayed on the form, typically on one or more tabs. Initially, the detail view is used by default when you open hub forms. For more information, see the Tabs on the Licenses Detail View description on this page.

You can delete, assign users to a license, or terminate a user's session.

These grid header options only display on Licenses List View. These options allow you to filter the list and select columns by clicking the corresponding icon. For more information, see Working with Grids.
