License Type Assignments determine how much you are charged for your Precursive Licenses. You want to make sure you track how many licenses of each type you have assigned your users to prevent being overcharged for over-assignment of more expensive Types. This article will show you how.

If you need to purchase more licenses, please check their assignment as showed below and then get in contact with your Customer Success Manager, or email customersuccess@precursive.co.uk 

Check License Type Assignments

After assigning Users their relevant Permission Set Group, you can run License Utilization from the Precursive HQ and report on your License Type Assignments:

  2. Scroll to the bottom of the page where you can find the 'License Utilization' 
  3. Click 'Run Now' to make sure all your data is updated and shows up correctly on your ReportsScreenshot 2022-11-30 at 12.46.30.jpg
  4. Then click 'Run Now' in the 'Package Licences Assignment to Users' componentScreenshot 2023-01-20 at 15.59.40.jpg
  5. That assigns a Package Licenses to all the users with Precursive Permissions already assigned (please see Assigning Precursive PSX/RCO Package Licenses for more information) and it sends you an email with the full breakdown of your license types and license package assignments!​​​​

Note - To free up a Package License, in case a User leaves or no longer needs access to Precursive, you can remove any Precursive Permission groups assigned to them and run steps 1 to 5 again.

To report on License Usage and see what users have been assigned what License Type, after following the steps above: 

  1. Now you can navigate to the Reports tab, click 'New Report' and select the 'Users' Report Type
  2. Add the fields you would like to be displayed (e.g. First and Last Name of your Users)
  3. Add 'Precursive PSX Licence Type' under Group Rows to have a complete breakdown of what License Types have been assigned to what users!
