The system will automatically assign a license (assuming one is available) to a Sage CRM user when they connect from one of the Toolbar controls.

Concurrent users

Update 30 Aug 2018

According to Sage, users logged on to the CRM Webservice do not count as an extra user. see https://community.sagecrm.com/partner_community/b/hints_tips_and_tricks/archive/2018/08/30/sage-crm-2018-r3-concurrent-users-web-services-and-licenses.aspx

Logging off concurrent users If concurrent user sessions are not killed then they will stay there and take up a license.

To add in a Log off button to Outlook open the CRM server we.config file and go to the "CustomButtonsOutlook" node. Add in the button by uncommenting the button item

EG

 <CustomButtonsOutlook>
   <buttons>
     <add Name="Logoff" Type="process" File="AcceleratorLogoff.exe" Text="Log Off" Alt="Log Off" Image="cases" />
   </buttons>    
  </CustomButtonsOutlook>

Download the AcceleratorLogoff.exe file from

https://www.dropbox.com/s/uuej84b5fecxxuh/AcceleratorLogoff.exe?dl=0

and save this to the CRM server folder "custompages/SageCRMWS"

When users restart outlook they should see the new button


Active Directory Integration

Sage's own web-services do NOT use the active directory logon information/authentication.

As Accelerator uses the CRM web services API to log on to CRM and get a valid session for the user you have to maintain and use the password stored in CRM (and not the users Active directory password).
