Suites Definitions Editor

The Suites Definitions Editor task is used to create and edit suites.

Pre-made suites can be downloaded from the License Dashboard website. You may need to edit the suites to suit your business. For example, if your business uses Microsoft Office, but never uses the Standard Version, you may want to edit the Microsoft Office suite to ignore it.

Click Suites Definitions Editor in the Tasks list. The Suites Editor window is displayed.

There are three sections in the Suites Editor.

  1. The Families section is used to create or delete a product family.
  2. The Suites section shows suites in the selected product family.
  3. The Product section shows products in the selected suite.

The Manufacturers and Products lists are linked and can be searched to find details of products and suites in the dictionary.

  • Click Load to load a pre-saved suite into the Suites Editor.
  • Click Save As to save the suite as a new file name.
  • Click Save to save changes to the suite.
