License Server Portal Management for Resellers

Modified on Fri, 6 Feb at 5:07 PM


TABLE OF CONTENTS


Overview of the License Server Portal

The ARIA License Server Portal provides resellers with a centralized, streamlined environment for managing all of their customer organizations and the licenses assigned to them. Each customer maintains its own set of users, while resellers retain full visibility and administrative control over license allocation, activation, and lifecycle management.


Through the portal, resellers can easily provision and manage licenses count for each customer. The platform allows resellers to activate licenses directly on a customer’s AZT Local Console.


First-Time Login

ARIA Support will send you a welcome email that you can use to reset your password. Follow the directions below to get started.

  1. In the welcome email, select Reset Password. This link will take you to https://license.ariacybersecurity.com/

    Note: If you were given credentials instead, go to https://license.ariacybersecurity.com/ and enter the credentials to proceed.
  2. On the password reset screen, enter a new password that meets security requirements. Select Change Password.
  3. You should now be logged in to the license server portal.


Understanding Customers and Customer Types

On the left-hand side, there are two tabs for managing customers and users.


A Customer is an organization that owns and manages licenses. Each customer has their own pools of licenses and devices.


Customer Types

End Customer

A standard customer who uses licenses for their own devices.


Reseller

A customer who can distribute licenses to other customers (sub-customers).


Multi-level structure - you and your clients:

Viewing License Information

You can manage license information on the Customer tab by following the directions below.

  1. Go to the Customers tab.
  2. Next to the customer you would like to manage, select View Details.
  3. Below is a breakdown of what information is available on each tab.
    1. Overview: This screen includes a high-level view of customer status, profile information, and KPI usage callouts. You can also deactivate the customer account on this page.
    2. Pools: This screen includes how to create and manage license pools. 
    3. Endpoints: This screen is where license requests can be uploaded to register an endpoint. 
    4. Users: This screen is where you can view all the users assigned to a customer. You can also create users from this screen. 
    5. Audit: Audit history for what actions have been taken under this customer's account regarding creating users, updating users, and applying licenses.


Understanding Pools

A Pool is a container of purchased licenses for a specific entitlement. Think of it as a "bucket" of licenses that a customer owns and can distribute to their devices.


An Entitlement is a collection of features that can be licensed together. Entitlements define what capabilities a customer receives when they purchase licenses.


Create License Pool

On the Pool tab under a Customer account, you can create a license pool. Follow the directions below.

  1. Select + Create Pool.
  2. Complete the following details:
    1. Source Pool: Select the pool you want to move licenses from.
    2. Destination Customer: This is the customer you want to assign licenses to.
    3. Quantity: Number of licenses to transfer.
    4. Destination Pool: You can create a new pool or add to an existing pool.
    5. Pool Name: You can name the pool or let a pool name be auto-generated.
  3. Select Transfer Licenses.


Note: If you would like to purchase more license pools, contact the ARIA Sales team separately to create a purchase order.
