Upon successful installation, only the administrator account is available. It is required for you to apply a license for the first time. The license selection page also opens when your license expires.

The license selection page prompts you to specify the address of the FlexNet license server installation where you store your license(s). If you do not specify any port, 1101 will be the default port. If you enter the wrong address, an error message will open for you to report the problem.

Note

  • You can only apply a Teamwork Cloud license once per session.
  • An administrator account is required only for first-time license application. In subsequent license updates, any user who has been assigned a server administrator role can apply the license through Teamwork Cloud Admin. 
  • Teamwork Cloud will automatically apply the selected license whenever it starts. If the license does not exist in the license server anymore, the server will go into limited mode, allowing only one user to log in. The user is either Administrator or one with Server Administrator permissions.
  • To open Teamwork Cloud Admin on your web browser, use the following format: https://<machine ip>:<port>/webapp. For example, if the machine IP is 10.1.1.123 and the default port 8443 is used, the URL will be https://10.1.1.123:8443/webapp. 
  • When a license is added, the Web Application Platform together with Teamwork Cloud Admin automatically consumes one license.

Warning

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

Whenever a Teamwork Cloud 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. Only one connection is allowed at that time. 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. The server administrator 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 a license to change or update your license.
