1.0 - Introduction

All companies in HighGround have a license applied to them. Read this article to learn more about different license types and how to find which one is applied to your clients and prospects.

2.0 - License Types

There are 3 different license types you can use in HighGround. These also control the company type so that you do not inadvertently create a company with the incorrect license type. Available license types are as follows:

Prospect License: this is the only license type available for prospects, and will create the company with company type = prospect.

Standard License: this is the default license type for clients, and will create the company with company type = client. If in doubt, create clients with this license and change it afterwards.

Premium License: this license is required for clients where they will actively participate in their cyber security management via HighGround. The most significant of these features is the ability for clients to have a login to HighGround.

3.0 - Finding the License type applied to a company

Finding the license applied to a client or prospect is quite simple, and can be found in several different places:

via the MSP Client List:

  1. Click 'Clients' on the top menu

  2. In the 'License' column, the license type will be shown (by default this column is visible and is on the far right side)

via the Client Dashboard

  1. Client 'Clients' on the top menu, find the company you are looking for and click on it to open the company

  2. Click on the 'Dashboard' tab on the left (this is the default page) and you will see the license type listed at the top of the page on the 'License' block.
