ENTERPRISE

The Seat Management dashboard allows you to view and manage seats for your Enterprise license.

Dashboard URL: getredline.io/manage

Accessing the Dashboard

  1. Navigate to getredline.io/manage
  2. Enter your master license key (the key from your purchase email)
  3. Click View Seats

Once logged in, you'll see:

Header Information

  • License key (partially masked for security)
  • License tier (Enterprise)
  • Total seats - How many seats your license includes
  • Active seats - Currently activated seats
  • Available seats - Seats not yet activated

Distributing Seats

To give a team member access:

  1. Find an Available seat in the table
  2. Click the seat key to copy it
  3. Send the key to the team member securely
  4. They enter the key in Redline to activate
Secure Distribution

Send seat keys through secure channels (encrypted email, password manager, etc.). Treat them like passwords.

Revoking a Seat

If a team member leaves or loses access to their machine:

  1. Find their seat in the table
  2. Click the Revoke button
  3. Confirm the revocation

What happens:

  • The old seat key stops working immediately
  • A new seat key is generated automatically
  • The new key appears in the table as "Available"
  • You can distribute the new key to someone else
Revocation is Immediate

Revoking a seat immediately deactivates that user. They will need the new key to continue using Redline.

Seat Lifecycle

New Seat

When your Enterprise license is created, all seats start as Available:

  1. Initial seat keys are generated
  2. Keys appear in the management table
  3. Distribute to team members as needed

Activation

When a team member enters their seat key in Redline:

  1. Seat status changes to Active
  2. Activation date is recorded
  3. Machine ID is associated with the seat
  4. AI budget is allocated for that seat

Transfer to New Machine

If a user needs to move to a new machine:

  1. They deactivate Redline on the old machine (Settings > License > Deactivate)
  2. Enter the same seat key on the new machine
  3. The seat remains Active with the same key

Revocation

When you revoke a seat:

  1. Old key is invalidated
  2. New key is generated
  3. Old machine is immediately deactivated
  4. New key is Available for distribution

Best Practices

Track Assignments

Maintain your own record of who has which seat:

  • Use a spreadsheet or IT asset management system
  • Record seat number, key, and assignee
  • Update when seats are revoked and reassigned

Regular Audits

Periodically review your seats:

  • Identify seats that should be revoked (departed employees)
  • Reclaim unused Available seats
  • Ensure active seats are actually being used

Onboarding Process

For new team members:

  1. Assign an Available seat in your tracking system
  2. Copy the seat key from the dashboard
  3. Send via secure channel with installation instructions
  4. Verify activation in the dashboard

Offboarding Process

When team members leave:

  1. Revoke their seat immediately
  2. Update your tracking system
  3. Assign the new key to a replacement (or keep available)

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I see what my team is researching?

No. Redline stores all investigation data locally on each user's machine. The Seat Management dashboard only shows seat status and usage statistics.

What happens if a seat expires?

When the license expires:

  • All seats become inactive
  • Users see an "expired license" message
  • Renewing the license reactivates all seats with the same keys

Can I add more seats?

Contact sales@getredline.io to add seats to your Enterprise license.

Can seats be used on multiple machines?

Each seat can be activated on one machine at a time. To move machines, deactivate the old one first. Alternatively, revoke and reassign to allow immediate access on a new machine.

What if someone loses their seat key?

Find their seat in the dashboard (by activation date or user info) and share the key again. If compromised, revoke and issue a new key.
