Licence key management and useability enhancement

This release introduces improved management and assignment of license keys to users and devices. A new tab called License keys, has been added to the License Properties page, where you can easily add, edit, and assign license keys. For device-based licenses, keys can be assigned to computers, while user-based licenses can be assigned to individual users.

This enhancement introduces several UI improvements that simplify license key management. Previously, customers found the Consumption tab's UI cumbersome for managing license keys for individual users or devices from the License keys column.

With the new License Keys tab, two grids are now available: License keys and License key assignments. The License keys grid displays all license keys associated with the license, with each key listed in a separate row. The License key assignments grid shows which keys from the above License keys grid are assigned to specific users or devices. This updated layout provides an easier way to view your license keys. For instance, you can use the Group By filter to select Available and view all available keys, making it simple to identify which keys are free to assign.

Additional updates include the following: the License keys field in the Consumption tab is now read-only and will only display license keys assigned to users or devices, if any. You will no longer be able to edit the key. Additionally, the import button for adding license keys from a CSV file has moved from the Consumption tab to the new License Keys tab.

Furthermore, License Key is now a reporting object in the Report Builder, enabling you to generate detailed reports on license keys and their assignments. The license key report object includes columns such as Comments, License key, Expiry date and License name. You can also link the License Key object to the License and Allocation objects for more comprehensive insights.
