With the latest release of our Licensing Portal the look and feel has slightly changed, but the principles of the old Licensing Portal remain the same.
Besides a dynamic search, a better structure, there are many other improvements regarding the usability.
We are not going to stop here - instead we are planning to add several new, very helpful bulk operations to the Licensing Portal. Stay tuned!
The Licensing Portal is now fully integrated into our M.App Exchange platform so that you can manage licenses and users within the same system.
The well known URL, https://hexagongeospatial.force.com/licensingportal will again take you straight to the Licensing Portal.
