If you install ConnectIT 365 via AppSource, you will automatically receive a license key via email. At first this key will function as a trial key. After purchasing a license this key will be converted to a normal license key.If you are installing ConnectIT 365 in an on-premises environment, please contact sales@idyn.nl to obtain a new key. Please do not use the same key in multiple installations. The interface count is connected to the license key.
There no server counts or user counts involved. ConnectIT 365 is only licensed per interface. Interfaces are purchased in bundles of 3. Bundles are available up to 12 interfaces. Above 12 one can purchase an unlimited license.
Each data stream, inbound or outbound, requires one ConnectIT 365 interface definition. So, if your sales order exchange with a customer consists of one data stream that is requesting new orders, and one which is sending an acknowledgement back to that source system. That integration is made up out of 2 interfaces in total.
The total count of all active definitions, minus one, is what is used to validate your license. Why minus one? That is because every customer gets one interface definition for free.
All users that need to work with ConnectIT 365 need to be assigned the ConnectIT 365 permission set.
If you want to use table monitoring (I.E. export every item or sales order directly after it was created), then all users working with these tables should be assigned this permission set. Or as an administrator you could choose to manually assign access to the specific ConnectIT 365 objects.
Yes. If you haven’t installed them when using the initial setup wizard, then you can re-run the wizard from the ConnectIT Manager home screen. Or search for “ConnectIT Setup Wizard”. On step 3, choose the type of examples you want to install. Example interfaces are by default marked as inactive and therefore do not count as definitions during license checks.
The examples contain definitions for importing and exporting items, customers, vendors, sales price and G/L entries.
Please double check whether you are using the right key. Rule out any copy/paste mistakes. Sometimes copying a key from your email client adds a space to the end of the key.
If the license key status still shows invalid, then please contact sales@idyn.nl.
This could occur in a multi-company setup. When using ConnectIT 365, the user that executes a definition needs to have permission on the following 3 tables, in all companies.
| 11148589 | IDYC Setup |
| 11148590 | IDYC Export Definition Header |
| 11148599 | IDYC Import Definition Header |
Start by checking your logging levels. ConnectIT 365 has the ability to log on a very detailed level. This is useful for debugging and testing purposes, but in a production environment it is not advisable to continuously log on debug level.
