A sub-organization has licenses that are maintained by the parent organization. If a sub-organization requires a license that does not belong to the parent organization, contact Informatica Global Customer Support to obtain the license for the parent organization.
When you create a sub-organization, each sub-organization inherits licenses from the parent organization as custom licenses. The sub-organization inherits all licenses except for the following licenses:
•The license to create sub-organizations
•Bundle licenses. To use a bundle in the sub-organization, a user in the sub-organization must install the bundle.
If your organization has the Intelligent Cloud Data Management license, the sub-organization also has this license. The parent organization and the sub-organization share the balance of Informatica processing units (IPUs).
You can manage sub-organization licenses in the following ways:
Manage the licenses individually
When you manage licenses individually, administrators for the parent organization can disable, enable, and shorten the expiration dates for the inherited licenses. They manage the licenses separately for each sub-organization. Sub-organization administrators can view licenses but cannot change them.
This is the default option.
Automatically synchronize sub-organization licenses with the parent organization
If you have the appropriate license, you can automatically synchronize sub-organization licenses with the parent organization. When this license is enabled, each time a license is changed in the parent organization, all sub-organizations inherit the license change.
You might want to enable license synchronization when your organization has many sub-organizations and the sub-organizations have the same licenses.
If license synchronization is not enabled for your organization, then you must manage sub-organization licenses individually.
Note: If you link a sub-organization that has a license that the parent organization does not have, the sub-organization loses the license.
Editing sub-organization licenses
You can edit sub-organization licenses if you are an administrator in the parent organization and if license synchronization between the parent organization and sub-organizations is not enabled. You can edit sub-organization licenses from within the parent organization or from within the sub-organization.
1Log in to the parent organization.
2To edit licenses from within the parent organization:
aOpen Administrator and select Organization.
bClick Sub-Organizations.
cSelect the sub-organization for which you want to edit licenses.
dClick Licenses.
3To edit licenses from within the sub-organization:
aFrom the Organization menu in the upper right corner, select the sub-organization for which you want to edit licenses.
bOpen Administrator and select Licenses.
4Select licenses to enable features, and clear licenses to disable features.
5Optionally, modify expiration dates.
All licenses must have expiration dates. You cannot extend a license past its original expiration date.
6Click Save.
Synchronizing licenses with the parent organization
You can automatically synchronize sub-organization licenses with the parent organization. Each time a license is changed in the parent organization, all sub-organizations inherit the license change.
To enable license synchronization, contact Informatica Global Customer Support and request the license for this feature. When the license is enabled for the parent organization, license synchronization with the sub-organizations happens automatically. The parent organization administrator does not have to take any action to synchronize the licenses.
Note: When the license for this feature is enabled, you cannot edit sub-organization licenses individually.
When the license for this feature is enabled and you disable a sub-organization, the sub-organization loses its license settings. When you re-enable the sub-organization, the sub-organization inherits all license settings from the parent organization.
License synchronization between a parent organization and sub-organizations does not affect the license meter counts in the sub-organizations.
Configuring the organization type
When you view the Licenses page, you can view details about the organization licenses and other details, including the organization type. The organization type specifies whether the organization is a trial, production, or sandbox organization. If you are a parent organization administrator, you must configure the organization type for each sub-organization.
The organization type is editable when a parent organization administrator views the Licenses page for a sub-organization. It is not editable by sub-organization users or in a parent organization.
If you are a parent organization administrator, you can configure the organization type for the sub-organization from within the parent organization or from within the sub-organization. You can change the organization type after you configure it.
