Room licenses allow for capturing lectures or other activities in a room such as a classroom, auditorium or lecture hall, and apply to the following capture methods:
Room licenses differ from site licenses in that a site license covers all instances of the licensed capture method in all locations. No further licensing configuration steps are required beyond /wiki/spaces/54/pages/590217289. Room licenses are sold in bundles of individual licenses that are then assigned to each room where the capture method is used.
You can, if necessary, assign multiple different room licenses to a single room. For example, there may be a capture appliance installed in a room along with Classroom Capture installed on the podium PC. In order to use both recording methods, or to have both available in case one method fails, the room must have both a capture appliance license and a Classroom Capture license assigned to the room. In this case, you would perform the licensing procedure shown below twice, selecting each different license type and checking the room to which the situation applies. Once assigned, both licenses will appear in the Licensed column for the room.
The Assign Room Licenses page also allows you to "un-assign" or remove a license from a room as needed. This is done by unchecking the room for the particular license selected.
If a user has only the License Manager role assigned, they can view room license assignments but cannot assign or revoke licenses. Users must possess both Admin & License Manager roles to assign and revoke room licenses. Furthermore, the user can only assign licenses to rooms belonging to the same organization for which their roles apply. If the Admin & License Manager roles are assigned at the root organization, the user can assign/revoke licenses for both the root and sub-organizations. For information on assigning organizations and roles for a user, as well as the privileges associated with each role, see /wiki/spaces/54/pages/590217302. |
When you assign room licenses, you are presented with a drop-down list that contains only the license names. You will need to understand the information presented in the license name in order to know which license to select for assignment to each room.
The below figure shows a sample drop-down list from the Room Assignments licensing page, with highlights of the License Name text that identifies the license type.
The following table lists the terms in the license name that identifies each of the three types of licenses you available for room assignment.
If This Term Appears in the License Name... | It is a license for this device |
---|---|
Software Capture | /wiki/spaces/54/pages/590217393 |
2 channel PRO | SafeCapture HD, Echo360 PRO |
Capture Appliance | /wiki/spaces/54/pages/590217377 |
In addition to identifying the device type to which the license applies, the license information may also contain an ID number, a truncated list of supported products and outputs, and the expiration date for the license. While this additional information is important, it is more clearly displayed on the main /wiki/spaces/54/pages/590217289 page of the ESS.
The License drop-down list also contains an "All" selection, which is the selection shown by default when you open the Room Assignments page. This selection simply allows you to see the total number of purchased, available, and assigned licenses combined across all room license types. It is not used for assigning licenses to rooms.
You can also assign a room license when you assign and configure a device for a Room. See /wiki/spaces/54/pages/590217279 or /wiki/spaces/54/pages/590217279 as appropriate |
The Assign Room Licenses page contains the following items:
The figure below shows a sample Assign Room Licenses page, with the "All" option selected. "All" simply allows you to see the combined total of available licenses, the number assigned and the number still available. The "All" option is not used for assigning licenses.
If you select a specific license from the drop-down list, the available license information changes to be specific to the selected license. In addition, the Room list also changes to show a check box for each room. If the box is checked, the selected license is assigned to that room. If the box is not checked, the room does not have the selected license assigned to it.
When assigning licenses, one or more of the following scenarios likely fits your situation:
The simple design of the Assign Room Licenses page allows you to use check boxes to do all of the assignment/removal for each type of license at once, rather than having to remove, save, then re-assign licenses via separate steps. In addition, it allows you to quickly see what licenses are already assigned to each room.
Before you assign room licenses, be prepared with a list, if necessary, of which rooms contain what capture methods and require appropriate licensing. |
