Bring your own license on BIMcloud

Collaboration between companies using BIMcloud

Note: Available on BIMcloud SaaS with traditional key-based licensing. Do you have a BIMcloud SaaS subscription that uses cloud licenses? Please see Guest users with portable license

Company A and Company B are collaborating with each other, working on each other’s BIMcloud Software as a Service. If they buy 1 license for each user, the users can still work on both BIMclouds.

  1. Add all users to Company A with their GSID (Invite GSID user)

  2. Add all users to Company B with their GSID (Invite GSID user)

  3. Company A's BIM Manager gives a license to their own colleagues with the “Assign license to GSID” option

  4. Company A's BIM Manager does not give licenses to Company B's coworkers. Instead, they select the “Bring Your Own License” option for these users.

  5. Company B's BIM Manager gives a license to their own colleagues with the “Assign license to GSID option”

  6. Company B's BIM Manager does not give licenses to Company A's coworkers. Instead, they select the “Bring Your Own License” for these users.

Thus, Company A only gives licenses to Company A colleagues, and Company B only gives licenses to Company B colleagues.
