Appexchange app user licenses

[Shamil]

Hello,

I have a question about licensing users for Appexchange apps.

Scenario: Admin of some SFDC org installs an app from the Appexchange. The app is a managed certified package.

After installation Admin would assign users of that org to available licenses for the app, i.e. to make the app's functionality available for those particular users.

A question is: 

1. Does the licensing event create any records in the installer's org?

2. Is there any way to add custom functionality (using Apex) that would be triggered when licensing event happens?

I think the answer is no, but I just want to make sure it is a confirmed answer.

Many thanks!

1. Not that I'm aware of.

2. In Summer '09, the new version of LMA will have a new field on the License Object - Used_Licenses__c - this is updated when the customer admin assigns a license to a user. You could have a workflow or trigger that checks for a change on this field and performs some action.

Hope that helps,

Sati

Sati,

Thanks for the information.

The only 'bad' thing here is that LMA is on the vendor's side, so it still seems like there is no way to 'catch' licensing event on the installer's side.
