Licenses and preferences introduction

Licenses determine which features a group of users should have access to, and preferences set the default behavior of the Spotfire clients.

Licenses determine which features and functionality are available to Spotfire users. License data is stored in the Spotfire database. When a user logs in to Spotfire, the user can only access the features that are enabled for the groups to which the user belongs.

Spotfire administrators can set a wide variety of preferences for the members of a group, such as a default color scheme for analyses or data optimization options.

Licenses and preferences are set in the Administration Manager in Spotfire Analyst. See the Administration Manager documentation for details on license and preference administration.
