# Managing business licenses

When you buy business licenses(opens new window) , you get access to a license portal where you can assign and revoke licenses from your users. Folge activation and deactivation on their machines happen automatically.

# Where to find License Manager

License Manager is part of Folge Cloud. Sign in at https://cloud.folge.me(opens new window) and open License Manager from the sidebar.

Use the same email and password you received from Folge when you bought the licenses.

# 1) Assigning a license to a user

If the user already has a Folge account, use “Assign seat to an existing user”: enter their email and click Assign. Folge will unlock automatically on their machine.

# 2) Creating an account

You can assign a license to someone who doesn’t have an account yet in two ways:

# Option A: Create a user in License Manager

Use the “Create new user” form: enter Name, Email, and Password (you can use the generate-password icon). Click Create. The user gets an email with credentials and download instructions. A license is assigned to them automatically.

# Option B: User creates an account

Ask the user to download Folge(opens new window) , install it, and create an account from the user icon.

Creating account

After the user has an account, use “Assign seat to an existing user” in License Manager to assign them a license. Folge will unlock on their machine.

# 3) Revoking a license

Click “Unassign next to the user. Folge on their machine will revert to the Free version. Revoking does not delete the user’s account; you can assign a license to them again later.
