Warning

If your Magic Collaboration Studio is using a multi-node Cassandra cluster, you must have a Business Pro or Enterprise license. Magic Collaboration Studio will deactivate if it detects a multi-node cluster with either a Standard or Business license.

Whenever a Magic Collaboration Studio node connects to the FLEXnet License Server and retrieves (leases) a license, the number of available licenses will decrease. If all available licenses from the server are leased, the node will not be able to launch and you will need to reactivate once a license becomes available.

If your FLEXnet License Server is down, the server capacity shall be set to zero. All currently active users can continue working but they cannot sign in again once they log out as no user can sign into the server at that time. A user with Configure Server permission (Server Administrator role) can sign into the Teamwork Cloud Admin to select a new license server.

You can see information about your current license on the Server license page of Teamwork Cloud Admin. The information includes the license edition and expiration date, the license version. See section Changing Magic Collaboration Studio license to change or update your license.  you want to update the license, see Changing Magic Collaboration Studio license.
