How is License Management Implemented?

[dburki]

I am the Product Manager of LMA functionality at Salesforce.com.

In Summer'08, we plan to release the next version of LMA that will allow developers of managed packages to do the following:

• Go to AppExchange and specify defaults for their license - how many users can use the app, for how long
• Use LMA 2.0 (this is currently planned to be released towards the end of June) to select a license record associated with a customer who has installed the managed package and specify the number of users in the customer org who can access your package, and for what duration

We have also built UI to allow a customer org sys admin to grant / revoke licenses to your package to a set of users in their org.
We have enforced licenses on a subset of components that are package-able. These include Custom Apps, Tabs, Objects, Apex Code, Apex Triggers, etc.

On 5/29, I held a webinar with Salesforce Partners to discuss this functionality.

If you have any questions, email me at dburki@salesforce.com.

Hi,

I am not able to track DOT created orgs through LMA so please let me know how to track DOT created orgs.

1.     Check to see if a lead/license is created in LMA when you signup a new trial org from your Trialforce DOT. If it is NOT happening, do the following:

2.     Install the package in the source DOT org. Before installing, check to see that the package version has been registered on AppEx and that proper default values have been specified for the license.

3.     After installing, verify that you received the lead/license in LMA.

4.     Re-export the DOT and redo (1)
