Setting up licenses for FarmStream Fleet

Licenses for FarmStream Fleet are managed in the Reseller Admin site and in Fleet.

To use the FarmStream Fleet, a vehicle requires a Vehicle Connection License. To obtain a Vehicle Connection license, the vehicle’s organization must have a Farmer Fit, Farmer Pro or Farmer Pro Plus License.

The following is an example of how to set up a license:

For Resellers only

1. Log into the Reseller Admin site (www.trimbleag.com/ResellerAdmin) and then open the Software Activations page. This example shows that the organization has two Farm Subscription licenses available to assign to a customer: A Farmer Pro license (which includes two Vehicle Connection licenses) as well as a separate Vehicle Connection license. In total the reseller therefore has three Vehicle Connection licenses available to assign.
2. The reseller now adds the customer (if this was not done previously) by entering the customer’s email address in the Add Customer field:
3. A confirmation message appears – click Add:
   An email invitation is sent to the customer. If they accept the invitation, the customer is added to the reseller’s organization:
   
   In this example, the customer has been set up as Gwen Byard (Gmail):
4. The Reseller now adds a Farmer Pro bundle. This must be done before they can add any additional Vehicle Connection licenses. The Farmer Pro bundle comes with two Vehicle Connection licenses. To do this, open the Farm Subscriptions section, click the drop down next to the Farmer Pro bundle and then click Assign:
   
5. In the screen that appears, select the customer that you want to assign the license to and then click Assign:
   If there are no errors, a message appears that the license has been successfully assigned:
   
   The customer’s screen now shows that a Farmer Pro license and two Vehicle Connection licenses have been assigned:

Adding additional licenses

If the reseller wants to add additional Vehicle Connection licenses, and if they have licenses available, they can either repeat the process above (see Step 4, above), or they can do the following:

Note: If they do not have any vehicles, the customer should create them.

1. Click the yellow +Add button shown below the assigned licenses.
2. In the dialog that appears, select how many Vehicle Connection licenses you want to add:
   Note: You will not be able to add more licenses than you have available in your inventory.
3. Select a particular license from inventory. SO and PO numbers will be visible for each license to help identify the appropriate license for the customer.

The customer now has an additional Vehicle Connection license, making it three in total:

Assigning a Vehicle Connection license to a vehicle 

The customer (not the reseller) must now choose which vehicles to assign the Vehicle Connection licenses to. To do this:

1. Check to see which licenses have been assigned to their organization. To do this, log into the Trimble Ag Software, go to Marketplace and then select Current Licenses:
2. If they do not have the appropriate licenses, purchase a license.  This can be done in the Trimble Reseller store by the reseller, or by the customer themselves by going to the Marketplace tab:
3. If they do not have any vehicles, the customer should create them. To do this, go to the Fleet page, click Create New Vehicle:and then complete the New vehicle form. NOTE: WHEN USING FARMSTREAM FLEET DO NOT SELECT A TELEMATICS DEVICE, ONLY SELECT A DISPLAY DEVICE:
4. Assign a license to a vehicle. To do this, select the vehicle to which you want to assign a license.
5. Select Edit Vehicle from the drop-down list to assign the license:
6. The customer can see that the organization has Vehicle Connection licenses available – to assign a license, click the Assign Vehicle License button
7. In the confirmation message that appears, click Assign to confirm. Once assigned, a license cannot be moved to another vehicle.
8. The Vehicle Connection License is now active.
9. Click Save to save all edited vehicle data.
