Licenses in Dataedo Portal (previously Dataedo Web)

Some features of the Dataedo Portal (previously Dataedo Web) are available depending on the license type you have. In Dataedo 24.1 the following features are available only with Dataedo Plan:

• Business domains and subject areas (a special system of domains and areas devoted to business use, in contrast to Data Domains which are provided for technical users). The Dataedo Plan allows you to use all the operations on the domains and areas, including:
  • displaying and using domains and areas,
  • creating domains and areas in the Dataedo Portal,
  • linking objects to such domains and areas and marking them as important,
  • granting permissions to objects depending on their assignment to specific domains and areas.
• Workflows (in 24.1 implemented for glossary entries, lookups, domains, and areas). The Dataedo Plan license allows to:
  • use and display the workflows,
  • to change the workflow status according to current needs.
• AI Autodocumentation.

If you lack any features, please consider upgrading to a Dataedo Plan. To do this, please contact our Sales Team.

How to configure licenses in the Dataedo Portal

To configure licenses in the Dataedo Portal, you need Admin rights to the repository. On the home page of the Dataedo Portal click the link here to go directly to the License page.

If the information bar is not visible, click the settings icon in the top right corner, and select the option System settings. Then open the License tab:

Using online license (recommended)

To obtain your license, go and log in to the page https://account.dataedo.com/. Select your license in the left panel and click the Subscription button. In the main screen, you will see the Licenses section.

Copy the Account ID and paste the value to the Account Id field in the Dataedo Portal form. Next, copy the Subscription Token from the Account website, and paste it to the Subscription token field in the Dataedo Portal form. Click Save in Dataedo Portal. After obtaining a success message, refresh your Dataedo Portal page. You should see the Business Domains icon in the left sidebar.

Using offline license

You can also use an offline license file. To do this, click the Download offline license button on your Account website and save the *.dkey file in the appropriate folder. In the License tab in the Dataedo Portal, check the checkbox Use offline license instead. The section Upload an offline Dataedo license appears, where you can drag and drop your license file or click Browse to select the file from your folder.

Troubleshooting

After entering new license data or a new offline license file, the message "Missing valid license" is still displayed

Read the article Background connections to the cloud and check if the address mentioned in the Dataedo Portal section is not blocked.

The old offline license file is not working

If you downloaded the license file some time ago and after saving it in the License tab, the domains, workflows, and AI are not available, try downloading it again from your account or contact our Support Team.
