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

  1. Confirm you are a Vendor (key seller), not only a Platform Owner.
  2. Get the real host from your admin (replace <domain>).
  3. Sign in to the Vendor console with your account.

Steps (first hour)

  1. Open console.<domain> in your browser.
  2. Sign in.
  3. Read the banner: it should say Vendor console — not “Platform Owner”.
  4. Create a Product (what you sell).
  5. Create a Policy if you do not have one yet (Operations → Policies — technical rules).
  6. If the Product technical flow requires it, create a compatibility package from Product → Policy (/plans?productId=…). See Technical compatibility packages.
  7. Create and publish the customer-facing version under Product → Tariffs.
  8. Add a Customer and use an eligible customer subscription.
  9. Issue the Product license from the Product or Customer workspace.
  10. Copy or send the key to the customer (safely — treat it as a secret).
  11. 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.
