So you obtained the license file via email, and now you need to install it. 

The procedure is simple. Please follow these steps:

How to install the license

1. Verify your license file name
   Ensure your license file ends with 'PRODUCTNAME_lic.json' 
   (e.g. YOURCOMPANY-gantt_lic.json, or YOURCOMPANY-risksheet_lic.json ...)  
   
   
2. Copy the license file
   Move the license file to the following folder on your Polarion server: `[POLARION_INSTALL]/polarion/license`
   (This is the same directory where the main Polarion license is stored.)
   
   
3. Reload the license
   You do not need to restart the Polarion server.
   Simply navigate to:
   Polarion Administration > Nextedy PRODUCT_NAME > License.
   This action will reload the license file.
   
   
4. Active user selection (if applicable)
   Some Nextedy products require a selection of active users.
   In that case, open Polarion Administration > Nextedy PRODUCT_NAME > License page and follow the instructions there, or refer to the steps in the Configure Named (Active) Users section below.

Polarion Cluster Setup

In case you have a Polarion cluster setup (with multiple Polarion nodes), you must place the license file on each node to:
`[POLARION_INSTALL]/polarion/license`

Configure Named (Active) Users
To configure the named users: 

1. Create the user group (Polarion Administration > User Management > Groups )
   or global user role (Polarion Administration > User Management > Roles )
   with the ID: nextedy_PRODUCTNAME_users.
   
   
2. Add the users who should be assigned an active user license to this group or role.
   
   
3. To reload the updated configuration, reopen the license page:
   Polarion Administration > Nextedy PRODUCT_NAME > License.

Important: If you don’t perform this reload action, the newly added users will not receive an active license.
