The FusePoint License Key web part is designed to help organizations validate and manage their license keys within SharePoint. This web part is required to activate FusePoint solutions and should be placed on a dedicated settings page. Once the license is validated, it is recommended to restrict access to the page to only administrators for security purposes.
How It Works
Purchase & Receive License
After purchasing the package, users will receive an email containing the license key and installation package.
The license key is unique and cannot be generated by the client.
Installation & Activation
Upload the latest FusePoint package to the SharePoint app catalog and activate it.
Create a new settings page in SharePoint and add the FusePoint Settings web part.
Click to the Licence key tab.
Enter the provided license key and validate it.
Securing the License Key Page
Once the license key is validated, it is recommended to make the settings page private.
Use the "Make Page Private" button to restrict access to specific users or groups.
This ensures that only authorized administrators can modify license settings.
Permission Approval
A new button labeled "Approve permissions requests for FusePoint" is now available in the top right corner of the Settings web part.
Clicking this will direct the admin to the Permission Approval page.
Features
Centralized License Management: Allows easy input and validation of the license key.
Secure Access Controls: Provides an option to restrict the settings page to specific users or groups.
Integration with FusePoint Settings: The license key web part is part of a broader settings panel that includes other controls like global settings, footer, and fonts.
User-Friendly Interface: Simple and intuitive design for easy license validation.
Best Practices
Ensure that the settings page remains private to prevent unauthorized access.
Assign permissions only to administrators or trusted users.
Conclusion
The FusePoint License Key web part is a critical component for activating and managing FusePoint solutions in SharePoint. By ensuring a secure and structured approach to license validation, it provides a seamless experience for administrators while maintaining security best practices.
