A) How to designate an Office Timeline license manager

When buying an Office Timeline Add-in subscription, you have the option to assign a license manager at checkout, by clicking on the “Someone else will manage the licenses” checkbox and providing you designee's name and email address. Once you finalize the purchase, we will notify your designated manager about their new role and provide them with product key distribution and activation instructions.

If you leave the "Someone else..." box unchecked or purchase the Office Timeline add-in through a reseller, you will automatically be assigned as the license manager. If you wish to transfer the license management rights to another team member, please read the following chapter.

B) How to change a current license manager

Subscription owners can quickly revoke the current license manager and assign a different one from their Account Page on OfficeTimeline.com.

  1. Log in to OfficeTimeline.com and go to the Subscriptions tab in your account.
