AppSheet Updates: New Licenses page in the AppSheet Admin Console and group based license controls for Enterprise Plus licenses

What’s changing 

We’re pleased to announce the Licenses page in the AppSheet Admin Console. From the Licenses page, customers that purchase their AppSheet licenses through Workspace can now see the licenses purchased, assigned and used in a single consolidated view in the AppSheet Admin Console. Customers can also distinguish between licenses used in a month and licenses assigned. 

This updated license reporting will show you every user of your licenses in the calendar month and the reason why licenses were consumed. You can also select the reason and you will be redirected to the app usage report highlighting the apps that caused a license to be used.

License Warnings
Starting this week, you may start to see warnings in the AppSheet Admin Console if you have exceeded the number of licenses purchased or have shared an app with a user with a lower license tier. 

Note that regardless of the license type, all AppSheet licenses are billed as a subscription – billing is not usage based. In other words, your organization will never be charged for more licenses than you have agreed to purchase upfront, even if your usage exceeds your commitment. However, user access may be restricted after repeated months of unresolved license violations. For detailed information on the licensing options, types of warnings you may see, and how to resolve these warnings, please read through this post in the AppSheet community.

Pooled licensing for AppSheet Enterprise Plus
It is now possible to limit the users of your pooled enterprise licenses to a group configured by an admin. Eligible users can be members from your verified domain(s) in a Google Group. When configured, this setting grants an enterprise license to every member of the group, including groups within the selected group. Users from your organization that are outside of the enterprise pooled group will not be allowed to access apps created by users with an enterprise license.
