Edit product packages

You can edit product packages in 10Duke SysAdmin.

You can, for example, change the name of the product package, activate or deactivate it or change its validity time, or add or remove licensed items.

If you deactivate a product package, you can no longer grant licenses with it. This allows you, for example, to temporarily prevent the granting of new licenses with it without touching the validity end date.

Changes to product packages

It’s important to note that after licenses have been granted using a product package, changes to the product package don’t automatically affect those licenses:

• If you add or remove licensed items in a product package, new licenses are not automatically granted nor existing licenses revoked. If needed, grant or revoke licenses using SysAdmin or the 10Duke Entitlement Management REST API.

  If your use case requires that the changes automatically apply to existing licenses as well, we recommend that you use aggregated licensed items.

  Using the Entitlement Management REST API, it’s also possible to do a license update to grant new licenses and delete licenses based on new and removed licensed items in the product package.

• If you change a licensed item’s settings within the product package, this has no effect on existing licenses.

  For example, changing the credit type or amount in the product package’s license item doesn’t update the credit of existing licenses. If needed, grant new licenses and revoke the existing ones.

• If you change the product package to use a different license model, existing licenses continue to use the old license model. The same applies if you change a licensed item in the package to use a different license model. If needed, grant new licenses and revoke the existing ones.

  If you want license model changes to automatically affect existing licenses, you must edit the license model itself.

Edit details of a product package

To edit the details of a product package:

1. In SysAdmin in the left sidebar, go to PRODUCT CONFIGURATION > Product packages.

2. In the table, select the product package you want to edit. You edit a product package and its licensed items in the same way as when creating a product package.

   • On the Details tab, edit the details.

     If you change the license model of the product package, select how to handle the license models defined at the licensed item level: click Yes to update the same license model to all the licensed items or No to keep their current license models.

   • On the Licensed Items tab, add and remove licensed items and edit their advanced settings.
