You can manage access to any Mend Advise IDE integration through the use of a Mend license key. This key can be generated either by a Mend Admin via the Mend Application, or alternatively, by developers themselves if they have access to the Mend Application.

Generating License Keys

Generating a Global License Key

As a Mend admin, you can generate a license key that can be used by all your organization's developers in order to activate their Mend Advise installation.

Do as follows:
