There are three windows in the License Viewer:
- Entitlements granted to this computer - These are the components for which this computer is presently licensed for. Any entitlements in this box are licensed and are ready to be used. If the box is blank you're not currently licensed for any Scriptel software products. There are several entitlements you could be granted:
- mouse_signing - Enables Touch Signing
- enable_citrix - Enables ScripTouch Remote for Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop.
- enable_rdp - Enables ScripTouch Remote for Microsoft Remote Desktop.
- msign_desktop** - Enables Scriptel mSign
- Entitlements not granted to this computer (and why) - This box contains detected licenses that do not currently apply to your computer. The box will list possible entitlements and why it doesn't apply to this computer. Usually this indicates the ScripTouch device associated with the license isn't attached to the computer.
- License Files Found - This box contains information about the license files that were found and the path that was searched to find those licenses.
If you believe you should be licensed for a component that isn't showing up in Entitlements granted to this computer please contact Scriptel Support.
Associating Devices with Provisioned Licenses
It is possible to purchase licenses from Scriptel that do not come pre-associated with a particular ScripTouch device. This is useful if you're not sure exactly where you'll need to use the licenses ahead of time and want to allocate the licenses as needed.

- Log in to the Scriptel Customer Portal.
- If prompted choose the organization you'd like to manage.
- Go to the Licenses tab. You'll see a list of provisioned licenses, next to those licenses you'll see a Restrictions column. In the Restrictions column is a list of restrictions associated with the provisioned licenses.
- Find a license where the DEVICE restriction is colored red instead of gray. This indicates that the license isn't allocated yet. Click the DEVICE label.
- You'll be prompted for the UUID of the device you'd like to associate with this license.
- You can get the UUID by using the ScripTouch Toolbox. Use the Copy UUID link on the Information tab.
- Paste the UUID of the device you'd like to license into the Device UUID field and hit Submit.
- The DEVICE field will turn gray and the license is ready to use with your device. Re-download the license file for your organization as described above and the license should begin functioning.
If you accidentally assign the wrong device to a license please contact Scriptel Support.
