Access and User Management for Named User Licenses

Named-User License Keys provide access to Lumion based on individual users rather than a shared pool of Seats. Each available Seat must be assigned to a specific person and their Lumion Account before they can use Lumion Pro or Lumion View.

The License Key administrator manages access through the User Management section of their Lumion Account.

They can invite Users, assign or remove Seats, and update assignments when their team changes. The number of assigned users cannot exceed the number of Seats included with the License Key.

Once assigned, each user signs in to Lumion with their own Lumion Account. Named-User License Keys cannot be manually registered to another account using a License Number or Activation Code. Administrators must also assign themselves a Seat if they want to use the product.

Here's all you need to know about logging in, how administrators can manage users and Seats, how invited users receive access, and how to resolve common access and sign-in issues:

Assigning Seats for Named-user Lumion Pro and View

1.1 Logging in and out of Lumion Pro

1.1.1: Users will be prompted to log into Lumion Pro when running the application for the first time, after installing with an Activation Code that is associated with a Named-user License Key.

A Lumion Account is needed to authenticate in Lumion Pro:

1. SignIn for All - SignIn with your Lumion Account_b-small.png

1.1.2: If a License Seat has been assigned to you by your License Administrator and you do not have a Lumion Account, please click the 'Create an account' button. Once the Account creation is confirmed, proceed with the login. 

1.1.3: Clicking the 'Sign In' button will direct you to your browser, where you will be prompted to enter your credentials:

A success message will be displayed in the browser and Lumion will open:

This type of user has access to active user information and can assign other Users or User Managers to the License Key.

To take advantage of the features in Lumion Pro, a User role needs to be assigned. Please note that this also applies to the License Administrators and User Managers, who also need a User role assigned to them to use Lumion Pro.
