🔑Accounts and Licenses

Users

In Hamina Wireless products, a user is defined as an individual person. Each user needs to have their own subscription. Subscriptions for teams can be provided through a volume license key.

Activating a License Key

Whether you are trying out Hamina, or activating a new subscription, here's how to activate your license. This applies to both Hamina Network Planner, and Hamina Onsite.

1. Click on the Account menu in the upper right, then click Subscriptions.

   
2. The Subscriptions page will list all active subscriptions. In the Subscriptions table, find the relevant subscription and click the > button.

   
3. The Manage subscription page will list all available seats, including which user has activated each seat, and when they last used Hamina. Next to an available seat, click the elipsis (...) menu next to the license, and click Activate to my account to activate the seat for yourself.

   

Volume License Keys

If you have a team of two or more users, you can purchase multiple licenses from a single account. This is often useful for simplifying billing.

Retrieving the License Key

If you purchase multiple licenses, you'll need to retrieve the license key from Hamina, and share it with anyone that you'd like to add to your Hamina organization.

1. Click on the Account menu in the upper right, then click Subscriptions.

2. The Subscriptions page will list all active subscriptions. In the Subscriptions table, find the relevant subscription and click the > button.

   

3. The Manage subscription page will list all available seats, including which user has activated each seat, and when they last used Hamina. Next to an available seat, click the elipsis (...) menu next to the license, and click Copy license key, which will place it on your clipboard to share with other users. Note: In most situations, each product in a subscription will share the same license key. In the example below, all three Planner Plus products share the same license key, and all three Onsite seats share the same license key.

   

Activating the License Key

1. Create an account at https://app.hamina.com. Note: Be very careful to select the same instance that your team uses!

2. Sign into your Hamina account.

3. Name and create your first project.

4. Click on the Account menu in the upper right, then click Subscriptions.

5. Click the Use license key button.

   
6. Paste in the key, and click the Activate button.

   

Release a License

When a user activates a license, the license is tied to that user for 90 days. After 90 days, the subscription holder (the person who shared the license key) has the ability to Release the user's license, freeing up the seat for another user to activate.

This is useful for when someone leaves your organization, if someone's role changes, or if you just want to keep a small pool of licenses and move them around between users.

To release a license:

1. Click on the Account menu in the upper right, then click Subscriptions.

2. The Subscriptions page will list all active subscriptions. In the Subscriptions table, find the relevant subscription and click the > button.

3. The Manage subscription page will list all available seats, including which user has activated each seat, and when they last used Hamina. Next to the seat that you would like to release, click the elipsis (...) menu, and click Release. Note: The user must have have activated the seat at least 90 days ago to be eligible for release.
