However, Appspace Cloud Services Account Owners may grant five (5) administrative or support users access to the Support portal, allowing them to create and manage their support tickets. Please refer to our Grant User Access to Support Portal article.
Appspace account owners can directly access Appspace subscription and licensing information, billing details via the cloud-based Account Management Portal at https://account.appspace.com, with Appspace credentials.
The account owners may also license Appspace on-prem servers based on their subscription plans.
The following illustrates the layout and interface of the Account Management Portal.
Overview
The Overview tab provides a summary of your company’s account information, subscription plan information, and licensing summary all in a single page.
The top section displays the company name and AAN number, followed by the PLAN INFORMATION which displays subscription plan type, and subscription validity dates.
We then have one section each for the summary of user license, device license, and resource usage (storage and bandwidth information) for both cloud and on-premise deployments in a table format. The information on these tables is updated automatically according to your current usage statistics.
License Management
The License Management tab displays licensing information for every cloud and on-prem instance currently licensed with Appspace.
Each Appspace instance is displayed indicating the server name, server version (for on-prem), connectivity status (icon), and the last sync time, while the table below lists detail overall usage specifics for user and device licenses, or IDs for legacy accounts.
The connectivity status icon color indicates the following:
Cloud
- Online (green) – Cloud server is in sync with Appspace servers, and is currently online.
- Offline (grey) – Cloud server is offline.
On-Prem
- Online (green) – Dynamic server is successfully checked-in during the scheduled sync, or when cloud integration is enabled on a static server.
- Offline (grey) – Dynamic server fails to check-in after the 6 hour-scheduled sync, or when cloud integration is disabled on a static server.
- The REGISTER NEW SERVER button is only available on Appspace subscriptions with On-Prem (OP) licensing, and used to manually license your Appspace 7.2 on-prem server via the Advanced Licensing – Offline Activation method.
- Appspace on-prem deployments that are currently utilizing User and Device IDs, will be listed under Users (Legacy) and Device (Legacy) respectively.
On each Appspace on-prem server, clicking the ellipsis option allows you to perform the following additional options for your on-prem server:
- View license
- Renew server license – Renew or switch your Appspace 7.2 on-prem license.
- Manage ID allocation– This option is only available for offline activations.
- Deactivate server license – Deactivate your Appspace on-prem server.
- Enter pending receipt – This option is only available if you have not completed the last step of your license activation or deactivation.
