How do I add / manage Licensing Portal users?

In rare occasions, it's possible to have access to the License Portal and see your Entitlements, w/o being able view the Activations section, where FlexNet Licenses can be managed. This occurs when your company has purchased Elastic or Shared Web Licensing products AND:
- Has not purchased any FlexNet licensing products. This is expected.
- OR, your company has purchased FlexNet Licensing products but does not have access to manage them in the portal. To gain access to manage them in the portal, please contact your SimuTech Account Manager or alternatively, SimuTech Support.
