Managing user seats within a subscription pool

For Trimble Business Center subscriptions, use Trimble License Manager to manage the pool of users who can be assigned a Trimble Business Center subscription license or "seat". This means you can assign a seat to a user and then, if required, return the seat to the subscription pool so that it can be assigned to someone else.

The number of available seats and the total number of seats in the subscription pool is shown at the top of the pool.

Account administrators are assigned the first seat in each new subscription block, but you can reassign it to another user. To assign this license to a different user you must first return the seat to the pool and then assign the seat to the new user.

Subscriptions for Trimble Business Center modules are managed the same way as other subscriptions, where users are assigned to the subscription. To assign the subscription to another user you must revoke the user's license. See Assigning licenses.

To add new users to License Manager and assign seats:

  1. Click the ADD NAMED USERS button for the subscription pool and select New user.
  2. Enter the name and email address of the new user, and click ASSIGN NEW USER.

  3. Click the ASSIGN SEAT button next to the user's name.

    Once the seat is assigned:

    • The number of available seats in the subscription pool is updated and the RETURN SEAT button becomes available next to the user's name.
    • The Expiry column updates to show the subscription expiry date, and the subscription Status shows Not in Use until the user claims the subscription seat in Trimble Business Center.

To add users who have already been added to License Manager:

  1. Click the ADD NAMED USERS button for the subscription pool and select Existing users.

  2. Select the check box next to each user you want to assign the license to.

    If there are a large number of users in Trimble License Manager for your account you may need to use the arrows to move to another page.

  3. Click ASSIGN USERS.
  4. Click the ASSIGN SEAT button next to each user's name.

When the subscription is assigned, the user will receive an email from Trimble with instructions on how to get started.

To start using the assigned subscription, the user signs into Trimble Business Center using their Trimble Identity, and then opens License Manager in Trimble Business Center. The assigned subscription is shown in the Subscription field. To claim the assigned subscription, the user must click Apply.

If the user is currently signed in then they must first sign out of Trimble Business Center and then sign in again to see the latest subscription changes.

For more information, refer to the Trimble Business Center Help.

To return a seat to the subscription pool so that it can be assigned to a different user, click RETURN SEAT.

The seat is returned to the subscription pool and can be assigned to a different user in the subscription pool.

The user who was previously using the seat remains in the subscription pool. To reassign a seat to the user again, click ASSIGN SEAT.

To remove the user from the subscription pool, click REMOVE USER.
