Blocksi Licenses
Blocksi uses two types of licenses: user licenses and conference licenses.
User licenses are assigned to Blocksi users and valid licenses are required to use the Blocksi application. User licenses are assigned through Organizational Units on BMEE. This ensures that all new students who are added or removed from the system have their licenses updated accordingly. This section of the Admin Dashboard should be used to verify that users are licensed. If one or more users were not licensed, you can apply the license manually.
Conference Licenses are assigned only to teachers, and allow teachers to start conferences with students in their classrooms.
You can assign a user license to one user, multiple users, or an entire organizational unit (OU).
Warning
Each OU or one of its parents must have licensed users assigned to it for the extension to initialize. If licenses are not assigned, the extension will not function.
To assign user licenses to one or more users
Sign in to the Blocksi Admin Dashboard using your Google Admin or Microsoft credentials.
Click User Licenses from the Main Menu and then click Google Workspace Users , Azure AD Users , or LDAP Users from its sub-menu. The Users screen appears.
Select the checkbox(es) to the left of the user name(s) for whom you want to assign a license.
Click the Assign license button. The license is assigned and the red X is replaced with a green check mark in the License column.
