Maintaining Replicon-Hosted/SaaS Implementations
When you purchase a Replicon-hosted/SaaS Contract or Month-To-Month plan, maintenance processes
such as product upgrades and database backups are carried out by Replicon. However, you can manage
your own licensing via the account management portal within Web TimeSheet.
Managing Seats
When you purchase Web TimeSheet, you purchase a number of seats. Each seat provides one user access
to the features related to that seat. For example, if a user is entering time against projects, they must be
assigned a Project & Billing Edition seat.
Adding Seats
If your company grows, you may need to add seats to support the additional users.
Adding Seats in a Contract Plan
If you purchased a Contract plan, you can add seats at any time. The cost of each seat will be prorated based
on how many months of the contract it is in use (with the month of addition counted as a month of use). You
cannot remove seat licenses from a contract.
To add license seats to a Contract plan:
1. Open the Manage Account page.
2. Select Add Users to Your Contract.
3. Under Add Users, enter the additional users you would like to add for each product.
4. Select Update Plan.
5. Select Confirm Plan Changes.
Adding or Removing Seats in a Month-To-Month Plan
If you purchased a Month-To-Month plan, you can add or remove seats at any time via the Users page. The
cost of a month of hosting will be based on peak usage of the system (that is, the maximum number of that
type of seat in use at any time during the month).
If the database backup fails, the error message Backup of database <databasename> failed displays.
Common causes of failure are:
The path you entered does not exist. Verify that each of the specified folders exists and, if
not, either correct the path or create folders to match the path.
You lack permission to write to the specified file or folder. Ensure you have permission to
write to the file and folders specified. If you do not, try creating the backup in a different loca-
tion.
