Commercial licenses

Commercial licenses

1. Get your license activated

Activating your license means linking it to your One Click LCA user account. The user with a license can activate unlimited number of embodied carbon projects (tool which is included in every basic Starter, Business, or Expert license package) or a number of certification projects through the add-on license. If you have not yet registered a user account at One Click LCA, please follow our guide here. 

To get started:
  • If the main user(s) has not been marked to your contract, you need to notify our Customer Support (support@bionova.fi) with the email address of the main user in order to get it activated.
  • If the main user(s) marked in the contract/invoice has not been registered, then an invitation email will be sent out once the user has been linked to the license by our Customer Support.
  • If the main user(s) marked in the contract has been registered in One Click LCA, the license will be activated automatically.
  • If after registering your user account you don't get access to your license, please notify us at support@bionova.fi
  • If the main user will be different than marked in your contract, please contact support@bionova.fi 
Please note that all user accounts are personal. It is not allowed to share credentials.* 
*If the project work would be otherwise stopped (due to a sick leave of the licensed user, or similar) and another person uses the account, then please note that our Support service is meant ONLY for licensed users. If a non-licensed user needs to contact Support, make sure to always explain why the request is coming from a non-licensed user and always CC to your email the licensed user. Our Support is not required to reply to any requests coming from non-licensed users. 

2. Create your first project  

Follow our guide here

3a. License your embodied carbon project

Once your license is activated you can use it to license your projects.

Every basic starter/business/expert license includes as minimum one embodied carbon tool, which you can use for unlimited number of projects. Basic licenses are named typically like "Company (CountryCode) Starter/Business/Expert licnese, # users" (e.g. Bionova (FI) Expert license, 1 user). 

If your license includes unlimited number of certification projects, you can also use this license to activate your certification project.

To activate your project, simply select the license on the project main page and click 'Activate license'. 

If you create a new project*, you can also link your license at the bottom of the project creation page:

* no licenses appear in the list if you have selected wrong type of project. Most licenses are for Building projects only.

3b. License your certification project (LEED, BREEAM, DGNB and others)

If you have purchased a certification project add-on license, you must link both - your basic license (see 3a), and certification add-on- to your project. If you don't link both licenses, you won't access all the features/tools which you have purchased.

Typically, the add-on is named like "Company (CountryCode) Starter/Business/Expert license add-on, Certification add-on, # projects" (e.g. Bionova (FI) Expert license BREEAM/LEED add-on, 5 projects)
  1. Make sure your project is linked to the basic license (see instructions in 3a).
  2. Add your certification project add-on. The second license can be linked on the project main page or through ‘More actions’ and ’Modify’.
OR you can link both of the licenses on the project creation page at the bottom of the page:
 
If your license includes unlimited number of certifications, please follow the instructions in 3a.
If you wish to continue working with your trial project, link your commercial license(s) to the project through ‘More actions’ and ’Modify’.
