How to upgrade PPM Express license

In this article, we will review how to upgrade the PPM Express license from a trial plan to a paid subscription. 

PPM Express price depends on the number of users from your Team that you would like to add to the PPM Express tenant and the license types you would like to assign to each user. As the license plan is selected, it will be possible to assign a PPM Express license to the users on the People Management page. There are two types of licenses that can be assigned to PPM Express users:

  • User type - users with this license type may have a full set of PPM Express permissions. PPM Express administrator defines permission level for each user with a User license type on the People Management page.
  • Team Member type - users with Team Member license type have read permissions and view all PPM Express portfolios, programs and Projects by default. Using 'Collaborate on' permission PPM Express administrator can grant Team Members permission for editing PPM Express tasks. On the People Management page, the PPM Express administrator may define what portfolios, programs and/or projects exactly these users have permissions to review and/or edit tasks for. 

When the first user signs up to PPM Express and creates the tenant for the organization, a trial Monthly license will be applied according to the plan selected and will be valid for 30 days and include10 users with User license type (5 for the Project Management plan) and 25 users with Team Members license type. 

After 30 days, the PPM Express Administrator will have access only to the Billing settings page if the plan was not selected and paid.

License type for all other users in the list will be set to 'Not applied'. These users will no longer be able to log in to PPM Express until the PPM Express administrator selects the required license plan, pays for the required number of users and assigns the license to the users on the People Management page. 

Please note: Only users with Administrate app and Manage Billing permissions can open and manage Billing Settings pages. Only users with Administrate app permissions can open and manage the People Management page.
