So you obtained the license file via email, and now you need to install it. 

The procedure is simple. Please follow these steps:

How to install the license

1. Verify your license file name
   Ensure your license file ends with 'PRODUCTNAME_lic.json' 
   (e.g. YOURCOMPANY-gantt_lic.json, or YOURCOMPANY-risksheet_lic.json ...)  
   
   
2. Copy the license file
   Move the license file to the following folder on your Polarion server: `[POLARION_INSTALL]/polarion/license`
   (This is the same directory where the main Polarion license is stored.)
   
   
3. Reload the license
   You do not need to restart the Polarion server.
   Simply navigate to:
   Polarion Administration > Nextedy PRODUCT_NAME > License.
   This action will reload the license file.
   
   
4. Active user selection (if applicable)
   Some Nextedy products require a selection of active users.
   In that case, open Polarion Administration > Nextedy PRODUCT_NAME > License page and follow the instructions there, or refer to the steps in the Configure Named (Active) Users section below.

Install License from Polarion UI

For some of our products (currently only Powersheet), it is already possible to easily install the license just from the Polarion interface.

The list of supported products will grow shortly.

1. Go to Polarion Administration - Nextedy PRODUCTNAME - License

2. There is a new interface with a dialog for easy upload of the license file.

3. Just drag and drop or select a file with the license, and it will be automatically uploaded and added under the correct repository.

4. In case the license file is invalid, you'll get a pop-up message explaining what went wrong with its upload process.

Polarion Cluster Setup

In case you have a Polarion cluster setup (with multiple Polarion nodes), you must place the license file on each node to:
`[POLARION_INSTALL]/polarion/license`

Configure Named (Active) Users
To configure the named users: 

1. Create the user group (Polarion Administration > User Management > Groups )
   or global user role (Polarion Administration > User Management > Roles )
   with the ID: nextedy_PRODUCTNAME_users.
   
   
2. Add the users who should be assigned an active user license to this group or role.
   
   
3. To reload the updated configuration, reopen the license page:
   Polarion Administration > Nextedy PRODUCT_NAME > License.

Important: If you don’t perform this reload action, the newly added users will not receive an active license.
