Setting Up License Notifications

FYI administrators listed on the Administrators tab can receive e-mail notifications when a license is about to expire. Notification options can be set from the FYI Licenses tab. FYI ASPs may also want to use e-mail notifications to alert clients of any upcoming license expirations.

Expirations occur at midnight on the last date of the licensing period. If licenses do expire for users, they will not be able to access FYI Reviewer until you reactivate the licenses. The license remains assigned to the user, with the valid dates identifying the period for which it was available, but the license displays as inactive until the renewal is resolved.

2.Click the Notification options button.

i.Clicking the Notification options button opens the Notification options dialog box.
