Assigning Licenses

In a Blackmagic Cloud organization, licenses can be assigned to individual members or to a group by an organization owner or administrator. In a personal profile, licenses can be assigned to the profile owner.

To assign licenses in an organization:

  1. In the ‘license manager’ page, click the ‘assign’ button. The top right of the License Manager page showing the 'Assign' button between the 'Add' and 'Unassign' buttons
  2. In the ‘assign licenses’ window, enter the name of the Blackmagic Cloud group or the name of the organization member that you want to assign the licenses to. Click the assign button. The 'Assign Licenses' modal with a 'Search Member or Group Name' field and the 'Editors Group' (4 members) selected, with an 'Assign 4 Licenses' button

It’s worth noting that if you are assigning licenses to a Blackmagic Cloud group, you will need to have enough available licenses for all the group members. For example, if there are four group members, then you will need at least four available licenses.
Once licenses have been assigned, you can add new group members via the ‘settings’ page. New group members will automatically be assigned a license once purchased.

When you assign licenses, the ‘licenses’ panel will update. If you have assigned licenses to a Blackmagic Cloud group, the group name will be listed.
