    3. Administration → System → Licensing in Repository Manager

  6. Select "Verify License"

Adding Members to an Organization

This will email instructions for signing up for my.sonatype.com. Once that person creates an account with the specified email address, they'll automatically be added to your Organization.

Assigning Support Contacts

Authorized support contacts are the people in your organization whom you assign to serve as the conduit between your company and the Sonatype support team. They are chosen from the pool of existing members in your organization.

  • All organizations can assign up to four Support Contacts

  • Being a member of an Organization does not automatically make them a Support Contact

  • Only verified Organizations can have Support Contacts

  3. Select the Organization to which you will assign Support Contacts

  4. Select "Support Contacts" on the left toolbar, and then select "Assign Contact"
