Sub-organization licenses

A sub-organization has licenses that are maintained by the parent organization. If a sub-organization requires a license that does not belong to the parent organization, contact Informatica Global Customer Support to obtain the license for the parent organization.

When you create a sub-organization, each sub-organization inherits licenses from the parent organization as custom licenses. The sub-organization inherits all licenses except for the following licenses:

The license to create sub-organizations

Bundle licenses. To use a bundle in the sub-organization, a user in the sub-organization must install the bundle.

If your organization has the

Intelligent Cloud Data Management

license, the sub-organization also has this license. The parent organization and the sub-organization share the balance of Informatica processing units (IPUs).

You can manage sub-organization licenses in the following ways:

Manage the licenses individually: When you manage licenses individually, administrators for the parent organization can disable, enable, and shorten the expiration dates for the inherited licenses. They manage the licenses separately for each sub-organization. Sub-organization administrators can view licenses but cannot change them.

This is the default option.
Automatically synchronize sub-organization licenses with the parent organization: If you have the appropriate license, you can automatically synchronize sub-organization licenses with the parent organization. When this license is enabled, each time a license is changed in the parent organization, all sub-organizations inherit the license change.

You might want to enable license synchronization when your organization has many sub-organizations and the sub-organizations have the same licenses.

If license synchronization is not enabled for your organization, then you must manage sub-organization licenses individually.
