What a licence covers
What a Studio Cloud licence covers: your shop, an agreed number of people, any computer in the shop, and where to see your dates.
A Studio Cloud licence is agreed with each shop. It is not a button you press and it is not bought by the computer.
What it covers
- Your shop. Your shop gets its own Studio account, with its own jobs, presses, materials, presets and people. Nobody outside your shop sees them.
- An agreed number of people. The number is the licence's seats. A seat is a person you have invited or who has joined, each with their own sign-in.
- Any computer in the shop. People sign in from any computer. Computers are not counted, people are.
- Its dates. The licence has a first day, a last day and a stated number of days of grace after it.
We set the account up when the licence is agreed, and invite your first supervisor, who invites the rest. See Invite people and set roles.
Where to see yours
A supervisor opens the Admin console. Organisation, above People, shows who the licence is for, how many seats are used out of how many, when it ends or ended, and how to renew.
Renewing, and more seats
A renewal, or more seats agreed during the term, is a new issue of the same licence. It reaches Studio by itself. There is nothing for you to upload.
A supervisor asks for a renewal by writing to us from the contact page on our website and naming the licence. A person who is not a supervisor asks their supervisor.
Where a licence stands
| State | What Studio does |
|---|---|
| In force | Everything works, with nothing said. |
| Ended, inside its days of grace | Everything works, and Home carries a line that says when Studio stops being able to change anything, and how to renew. |
| Lapsed, the grace has run out | Studio opens read-only. See When a licence ends, and taking your work out. |
| Revoked, or not yet started | Sign-in is refused, in words. |
What a licence does not change
Your jobs, your customers' details and your artwork stay yours. PostPress never reads or touches them, not to fix a fault and not for any other reason.
