Vendor (key seller): first hour
This page is for Vendors who sell or issue license keys.
You work in the Vendor console at console.<domain>.
This is not the Platform Owner cabinet (platform-admin.<domain>).
Before you start
- Confirm you are a Vendor (key seller), not only a Platform Owner.
- Get the real host from your admin (replace
<domain>). - Sign in to the Vendor console with your account.
Steps (first hour)
- Open
console.<domain>in your browser. - Sign in.
- Read the banner: it should say Vendor console — not “Platform Owner”.
- Create a Product (what you sell).
- Create a Policy if you do not have one yet (Operations → Policies — technical rules).
- If the Product technical flow requires it, create a compatibility package from Product → Policy (
/plans?productId=…). See Technical compatibility packages. - Create and publish the customer-facing version under Product → Tariffs.
- Add a Customer and use an eligible customer subscription.
- Issue the Product license from the Product or Customer workspace.
- Copy or send the key to the customer (safely — treat it as a secret).
- Tell the customer to open
portal.<domain>to see their license.
What not to do here
- Do not manage platform tenants or PlatformPlans in this console.
- Do not call a License Plan a PlatformPlan.
- Do not mix Vendor and Platform Owner menus in one sidebar.
