Licensing

License requirements

• Identity Director uses Named User licenses. These are based on the number of active people in your environment: each active person requires one license.
• People stated as inactive, marked for deletion or ready for deletion don't require a license. They don't qualify for any service and can't sign in to the Web Portal and the Clients.
• Identity Director claims licenses from the Datastore to which an environment connects. This can also be an Ivanti Automation Datastore.

Evaluation licenses

When you install Identity Director, 25 evaluation licenses are available that are valid for 45 days. To use Identity Director after the evaluation period, you need production licenses.

• You can buy production licenses at your reseller.
• If necessary, contact [email protected] (for EMEA) or [email protected] (for US) to extend the evaluation period.
• Evaluation licenses offer the same functionality as enterprise licenses.

• Sufficient number of licenses: The person claims one license.
• Insufficient number of licenses: The person gets the status Unlicensed and doesn't qualify for any service until a sufficient number of licenses is available. Unlicensed users can't sign in to the Web Portaland the Clients.
