Distribute and Manage Licenses

 

  • This section explains how you can distribute paid and trial licenses to customers.
  • The cost of paid licenses will be deducted from your account by Comodo. It is your responsibility to charge and collect fees from your customers by whichever method you prefer.
  • You can deposit funds to buy licenses in Comodo Accounts Manager (CAM). Login at https://accounts.comodo.com. See Manage your CAM Account for more.
  • cWatch sends an account activation email to the customer when you distribute their first license to them.
  • You can edit automatic mails in 'Notifications' > 'Account Activation Mail' > 'Settings'.
  • Manually send an activation mail instead - Click 'Customer and License Management' > select a customer from the list > click the email icon.
  • See Send Account Activation Email if you need more help with this.
  • You can distribute only one license at a time.
    • The license distribution process is similar for both cWatch Security and cWatch Backup licenses.
        • You can deactivate licenses that are not required for a customer.
