Overview
You can manage access to any WhiteSource Mend Advise IDE integration through the use of a WhiteSource Mend license key. This key can be generated either by a WhiteSource Mend Admin via the WhiteSource Mend Application, or alternatively, by developers themselves if they have access to the WhiteSource Mend Application.
Generating License Keys
Generating a Global License Key
As a WhiteSource Mend admin, you can generate a license key that can be used by all your organization's developers in order to activate their WhiteSource Mend Advise installation.
Do as follows:
Go to the WhiteSource Mend application, and in Integrate > WhiteSource > Mend for Developers > Advise for IDE, click Generate License Key.
Copy the license key and share it with your organization's relevant developers.
Enforcing Personal License Keys
As a WhiteSource Mend admin, you can enforce the use of personal (individually-used) license keys. However, this should only be enforced if all of your organization's developers have access to the WhiteSource Mend application.
Do as follows:
Go to the WhiteSource Mend application, and select Integrate > WhiteSource > Mend for Developers > Advise for IDE.
Click the Enforce user level activation button. The Are you sure? popup is displayed.
NOTE: This action is irreversible - the global license key will be disabled when clicking Yes.Click Yes.
