After the license is activated, you will see your license details: license duration, serial number, currently used storage space, and team seats. All projects created by the Team Lead account conneted to this license adds up to the occupied storage space and seats.
Transfer TeamCloud License
A team lead can transfer their TeamCloud license to another MAXQDA account via the Transfer License link. This account will then become the new owner of the license and the team lead of all projects associated with the TeamCloud license.The role of the previous team lead switches to team member.
Before transfering your TeamCloud license to another user, we suggest preparing the project in the following way:
- Import all pending teamwork data into the project
- Start a new cycle and upload the project for your team
- Now transfer your TeamCloud license to another user. This account becomes the new team lead for all projects.
- Your role switches to team member. You are free to continue as a team member or leave the project.
