Linking a Package with Your License Management Organization

To receive lead and license records from customer installs, you must link your managed package to your License Management Organization (LMO), the Salesforce organization where the License Management App is installed. You can also specify default license settings for your app as part of this process.

Once you link a package with an LMO, that package's leads and licenses must be permanently managed out of the LMO. You can't migrate licenses to another organization.

Note

To link a package to your LMO and configure default license settings:

  1. Log in to the AppExchange using the credentials for your AppExchange Publishing Organization (APO).
  2. Click your name in the upper right corner and select Publishing Console.
  3. Click the Your Uploaded Packages tab and find your package version.
  4. Click Manage Licenses next to the package version.
  5. Click Register.
  6. Specify the LMO by providing user credentials for that organization and specify the other default license parameters.
  7. Select whether your default license is Free Trial or Active. If you don’t charge for a license, select Active.
  8. Enter the license length in number of days. If your license is free or does not expire, select License does not expire.
  9. Enter the number of seats associated with your default license, or select License is site-wide to offer the license to all users in the installer's organization.
  10. Click Save.
To verify that your package is linked to the LMO:
  1. Log in to your LMO.
  2. Click the Package Versions tab.
  3. Click Go next to View All.
You should see your package name in the list.
  • All versions of a managed package are associated with the same LMO. Hence, you only need to associate your package with the LMO once.
  • When a customer installs the package, the default license values are used to set the Status, Expiration Date, and Seats fields on the license record in the LMA and in the installer's organization. If you want to update these values, you can modify this license record in the LMA.
