How is Active Administrator licensed?
Active Administrator is licensed by the number of user accounts in your Active Directory. Optionally, you can purchase Active Administrator to manage objects in one OU structure which reduces the number of licenses needed, but also restricts the functionality of Active Administrator to the specified OU structure.

Can I use my license for a selected group of users, or for just part of the domain, or just 1 of my domains?
You have two options. You can purchase 1 user license for every user account in the Active Directory which Active Administrator will be used to administer, regardless of the number of domains or sites, which gives administrators unlimited functionality within the Active Directory environment, limited only by number of licenses purchased.
You can also purchase 1 user license for every user account within an OU structure in the Active Directory which Active Administrator will be used to administer, which gives you unlimited functionality within that specific domain and OU path. Multiple OU paths can be licensed simultaneously.

Example:
We have 5000 AD users. My department is only responsible for 2000, so I can purchase a license for just the 2000 I need, right? Yes. You can purchase a 2000 user license but you will be limited to managing those objects within the OU paths specified at time of licensing.

What user license quantities are available?
Licenses can be bought in any quantity above the minimum of 50.

Can I move licenses from one server to another?
Licenses are not tied to particular domain controllers or member servers.

What happens if I exceed my license count?
Using ScriptLogic products in excess of the licenses you have purchased and installed is a violation of the End User License Agreement (EULA). You are required to ensure you have sufficient licenses for either the number of users in your Active Directory or the number of users in the specified OUs. See "How do I find out how many licenses I've used?" below.

Is an evaluation license available? What restrictions does it have?
Yes, a 30-day evaluation license is available from www.scriptlogic.com. The only restriction is that it expires after 30 days.

Can I extend my evaluation?
You can request an extension for an evaluation license at www.scriptlogic.com.

How do I find out how many licenses I have installed?
In Active Administrator, click on "Help" then "About Active Administrator".

How do I find out how many licenses I've used?
If licensed for the entire domain, from the "Active Directory Security" tab, in the tree view right-click on a domain and select "View All Users". This lists the users and counts the total number in each domain.

If licensed for one or more OUs, from the "Active Directory Security" tab, in the tree view right-click on an OU and select "View All Users". This lists the users and counts the total number in that OU.

How do I install the Management Console on multiple workstations?
Every time you install Active Administrator on a workstation you must re-apply the original license file supplied to you by ScriptLogic.

Is there a limit to the number of workstations where I can run the Active Administrator Management Console?
No.
