3.4. Licenses

A license is a text a user should agree upon before being able to access certain resources. It always applies to a domain, i.e. to a node and to all its descendants.

3.4.1. Accepting licenses

The first time you want to access a resource to which a license applies, you have to accept that license explicitly. To do so, click on the button Manage Access Rights from the context menu and then go to Node Authorization > Licenses Required. An overview of all licenses that apply to the resource you are interested in will be displayed . Click on the icon to read the license agreement text.

To accept a license, click on Accept next to the eye icon (or under the license agreement text). The accepted licenses will now be marked with a icon.

[Note]Note

If you accept a license, you accept it for all the domains for which the license is set.

It is possible to have more than one license assigned to the nodes within a domain. You can accept each of these licenses once you come across a resource for which a license that you have not accepted yet is set. However, it may be useful to accept all licenses that are assigned to the nodes within a domain at once. To do so, click on the button Manage Access Rights from the context menu. If you now select Node Authorization > Licenses Required in the AMS menu, you will see not only the licenses assigned to the selected node, but also the licenses assigned to all the nodes in the domain of the node, i.e. all nodes that are below the selected node in the tree.

To view all the licenses you have accepted so far, click My Account > My Accepted Licenses in the AMS menu. This overview shows the licenses and the date and time you have accepted it. You can also view the license by clicking View . The overview is independent of the selected node.
