Viewing licenses

The Licenses tab in the License Management page displays custom licenses you have created and the licenses from Black Duck KnowledgeBase that are used in all projects in your organization.

Users with the License Manager role can use the License Management page to manage licenses.

Note: The License Manager role is intended to be a cross-project, enterprise role. Typically, attorneys or privileged users that have broad access to information would have this role. Therefore, License Managers can view the licenses for all projects, including projects in which they are not project members.

From this page, you can:

Create, edit, or delete custom licenses.
Edit KnowledgeBase licenses.
View the full text of custom and Black Duck KnowledgeBase licenses.
View the number of components in your projects that use a specific license.

Note: Edits made locally by a BOM manager or Project Manager to the license text of a custom or KnowledgeBase license will not appear on this page.

To view the License Management page:

Log in to Black Duck with the License Manager role.
Click > License Management.

The License Management page appears.

Select the Licenses tab to view a table with the following information.

Note: Newly added Black Duck KnowledgeBase licenses or modifications made to Black Duck KnowledgeBase licenses may not be visible here for up to 30 minutes.
