Manage User Licenses with the License API

It is now a whole lot easier to offer per-user pricing for your add-ons. For many add-ons based on per-user pricing, it makes sense to charge only for the users that will actually be using it.

User License Management

As of today, our SampleLicenseAddon now includes a new option to turn on user license management. Simply enable the manage_licensed_users option and your customers can now determine which users can use your add-on. What's really neat is that they can also purchase additional licenses right from within SugarCRM.

Having this as part of the client library for the License API will drastically cut down on time-to-market. It will also make it much easier for your customers to purchase additional seats. You can learn more about what you can do with the SampleLicenseAddon by visiting Selling - License.
