Renewals, credits & activations

The operational working set: keeping live customers running. Most of it is reachable to the Support role, search-first — you usually arrive with an email, an org or a code and work out from the customer record. (Support)

Under Sales → Renewals you get the queue of entitlements expiring within a window (set the date filter; it defaults to about a month out). Open one and Renew to extend the current subscription period. From the same place you can Add Seats or move the customer to a different plan tier to upsell.

You can also renew directly from an entitlement, or from Sales → Subscriptions for the subscription-shaped grants.

When a customer is running low on a metered allowance, top up their balance from the entitlement’s Credits & Subscriptions tab. The tab shows what’s been consumed and what remains; a top-up adds credit without changing the plan. How credits draw down against quotas is covered in Metering, quotas & credits.

An activation (a session) is a running license on a device. Two views:

  • Customers → Activations — every issued license across customers, with User, Product, Features, Status, Issued and Expires. Release one to free its seat — use this when a customer changes machines or a device is lost.
  • An entitlement’s Issued Licenses tab — the activations for that one grant, in context.

Releasing a floating seat returns it to the pool so the customer can activate elsewhere. Releasing is the portal equivalent of the device checking out.

For a device with no connectivity, the customer sends you a signed request file; you issue a signed response they import. Do this under Sales → Offline ActivationIssue Activation Response: upload their request, download the signed response, and send it back. The device verifies the license itself, with no network. Usage gathered offline is brought back the same way. See Activation & sessions.

When a customer’s user is pending or has been blocked, resolve it under Customers → Users: approve a pending account or unblock one that’s been blocked. Credentials and MFA live with the identity provider the person signs in with, so password trouble is resolved through its own recovery flow, not from this page. (Inviting new teammates and assigning roles is an admin task — see Set up your account & team.)
