Thank you for subscribing to Pantone Connect.
If you have purchased a Pantone Connect Multi-seat license please follow the steps below to manage your subscription and licenses (seats).
If you would like your team member to manage the licenses, please set up the account and invite them as a co-organization or team admin.
When the Pantone Connect Multi-Seat subscription is being purchased, you will need to sign into or create a Pantone Connect account with the email address intended as the Organization's Administrator. This email/account will be tasked with logging into the License Management portal and setting up the license. You can add any additional emails as co-admins on the account to manage the organization and setup.
Please note: The Multi-Seat licensing for both Pantone Connect licenses (Color Premium and Insider Premium) are setup through the Pantone Connect License Management portal. We have introduced options in terms of how the licensing is assigned to your team/organization. This can be setup either per user email/account OR as concurrent licensing based on company domain(s).
CONCURRENT means first-come-first-serve. If you purchased five seats under the domain @company.com, any user with the same domain can log in and take up a seat for up to 5 people. When a user logs out, the license becomes available for another user with the same email domain.
USER EMAIL means you can directly associate a seat from your license to an individual email address. This allows you to manage and control who within your organization has access to use the license.
Step A: Once you have completed the purchase of your Pantone Connect Multi-Seat license, you will receive an email invitation to join the License Management portal for Pantone Connect. This can also be found at licensing.pantone.com
Step B: Log into the License Management portal with your email and password that is used for your Pantone Connect application account.
Step C: Begin activating and managing your team.
These are the steps used to setup your Organization within the Pantone Connect License Management portal:
Step 1: Enter your Organization's Name
Step 2: Invite Co-Admin (optional)
If you wish to invite additional people who can manage this license and teams, you can do this during this step. NOTE: This is optional and only for those that need access to the portal for administrative purposes for managing the licenses. See Inviting End Users section towards bottom of this page in terms of inviting users of the program.
Step 3: Set up team(s) and activate domain(s).
To activate your license, you MUST define the following:
A: Team Name (it can be the same name a the Organizations name, if desired)
B: Total number of seats assigned to the team. If multiple teams are to be created, the total number of seats of the license can be split among multiple teams. (Ex: If total of 10 seats are in license, this can be split 7 seats for Team A and 3 seats for Team B)
C: Activate Team domain. Enter your companies/teams domain based such as @company.com
D: Invite Team Admins (optional). Here you can invite additional people to manage an individual Team. Note this differs from Co-Admins who have full access to Organization and license setup. Team Admins will only have access to manage this specific Team.
Once you have setup your Team(s) you will have access to different functions as shown with the tabs on the left side of the portal window.
Selecting the ADMINS AND TEAMS tab will display the teams that were created. Here you can create additional teams, or make any edits to team(s) you have created.
Selecting the USAGE tab will display your team(s) usage records. This does have both Active and History tabs to display users that are currently claiming a license (Active) and the historical records of users and their sessions (History).
NOTE: If multiple teams are created you can select the drop list (example shows Team A) which will display the multiple teams to select from.
INVITING END USERS
When using the License Management portal, this allows you to create teams and activate domains. This also allows you to invite co-admins that will have permissions to make changes within the License Management portal. In terms of inviting end users, this is done by these users creating their own Pantone Connect accounts using the activated domain(s) at the login screen of Pantone Connect (https://connect.pantone.com/#/auth/welcome). If the users already have Pantone Connect accounts that use the activated domains, they can simply log into this account and it will recognize the domain and they will have full Premium access.
In terms of downloading and installing the Pantone Connect Extension for Adobe CC programs, this is done from the Adobe Exchange Marketplace (using Adobe CC Desktop app): https://exchange.adobe.com/apps/cc/103029
