Roles and Server
- File role switch: Switch to Student / Teacher / Server without reinstalling Setup. Student leave needs Teacher PIN or exit code / remote grant.
- Server Setup: Licence, Connections, Settings, Automatic Updates, Patch Management. Daily license ping; auto-update opt-out for Teachers/Students.
- Inactive license: full lockout (grey ribbon/buttons, no remote commands) until the plan is active again.
- Web Teacher Console license: auto-active from the signed-in account (same source as Tenants License/limits and
/api/license/status.php). No separate Server key paste is required on the web console when the user already has an owner-assigned plan, active subscription, or resolvable site/tenant Server key. Status bar version followsversion-info.jsontip. - Activate Server license: paste key from admin (Tenants, Subscriptions, or Sites), or sign in with the tenant account to fetch the key automatically. Keys stored with DPAPI on the PC.
License precedence
- Site key when the Server is bound to a site (or sign-in resolves that site).
- Subscription key for the matching admin subscription.
- Tenant / user key for the signed-in tenant admin (including owner-assigned Enterprise).
Website Owner can set unlimited or capped students, console limit, workstation limit, and included modules per key. Values appear on Server status bar and Licence tab via /api/license/status.php.
Deployment
- GPO / Intune: one Setup EXE with
/quietandINSTALLATION_TYPE=Student|Teacher|Server. See Deployment. - Exit codes: admin exit-codes page for Student unlock and role switch.
