With Pay-by-Use, you rent licenses instead of buying them. There are then no license keys; instead, you set on the Limits tab how many licenses per feature may be used at the same time. The activation is valid for a limited period and must be renewed in good time — see Activation. The server transmits the actual usage daily to the ilogixx activation server; how it is billed is governed by your contract.
You switch to Pay-by-Use with an activation in which you turn on Pay-by-Use. It is not possible to switch back to purchased licenses.
Setting limits
- Open Licenses › Limits.
- For each feature, enter under Limit how many licenses are to be usable at the same time. Booked shows how many of them are currently taken.
- Click Save. The license manager closes.
The new limits apply immediately. As long as the activation is valid, they are the number of licenses per feature; once it has expired, all licenses are at 0. The master transfers its limits to the standby server; they cannot be changed there. If saving fails, the information area reports Saving license limits failed!.
Licensing by profiles
With Pay-by-Use, too, you can license by profiles instead of individual features — Profile Voice, Profile Omnichannel and Profile Supervisor:
- Open Licenses › Activation, turn on Pay-by-Use and click Use Profiles. The license manager switches to Limits and only shows the three profiles.
- Enter the limits for the profiles and click Save.
As soon as a profile has a limit above 0, the Administration sets all individual features to 0 when saving. Conversely, if all profiles are at 0, it sets Server: Base key to 1 so that the server remains reachable. Which profile an agent takes is set by their agent profile under License Profile.
