The license portal provides both software distribution and management of your software entitlements that are purchased from HCLSoftware. The portal provides control and flexibility on how to consume your licenses. An organization identifies one of its resources as a License Manager (also called Tech or Portal Admin) who is familiar with the language of licenses.
