The PPM Administrator application shares product license information across the entire Deltek PPM product suite.
Use this form to add a new license, delete a license, assign/unassign a user to/from a license, or terminate a user's session.
Note: PPM Administrator retains existing product licenses, automatically adding users assigned to those products.
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

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 .

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.
