Using Team Login Licensing

Once you have been invited and accepted an invitation to a Team licensing Organization, you are able to access your Team licenses by logging into the Foundry account that the invitation was sent to. Once logged in, you are able to log out of and return licenses back to the Team Organization, allowing other Team Members to access licenses.

  2. Log into the Foundry account whose credential match the ones the invitation was sent to.

  4. Click Accept.

The invitation is accepted, and you can access your assigned team licenses.

Note:  After accepting an invitation, you can view the Team Login licenses available to you by clicking on the Team Licenses menu within the Login licenses tab under My Account on foundry.com

Accessing Team Licenses

Team login licenses are accessed via the Licensing dialog that appears when you open a Foundry application that is not tied to a license.

Once a Team License is activated, a reference to all of the selected Organization's Team licenses is stored on your machine. Running applications you have access to will automatically fetch licenses when the product runs and return them when you close it down. For example, if you first activate your Team Login licenses from Nuke but you also have access to NukeStudio licenses, when you run NukeStudio you will automatically fetch a full Nuke Studio entitlement - nuke_i, nukex_i and nukestudio_i.
