Understanding licence types

Learn about Commusoft Jobs licence types, storage allowances, and how daily charges apply to seasonal staff and subcontractors.

Understanding the available licencing options aids you in choosing flexible solutions for your business. You can adjust your license count as your team grows or changes, ensuring you have the right access for every role while managing costs effectively.


Licencing types

You can purchase three different types of licenses to grant users access to Commusoft. The Licencing dashboard displays counters showing how many of each type you currently have.

Read more about purchasing licences.

Contracted licence

These licences are committed until the end of your current contract with Commusoft. They typically offer the best value but cannot be reduced until your contract renewal date.

  • Commitment: 12 months (or until the end of your current contract).

  • Cancellation: Cannot be deleted mid-contract.

  • Billing: Paid in advance for the month ahead.

Monthly rolling licence

These licences have no long-term commitment. They are ideal for temporary staff, propbationary periods or seasonal fluctuations.

  • Commitment: None.

  • Cancellation: Can be deleted or cancelled at any time.

  • Billing: Paid in advance for the month ahead.

Daily licence

These are short-term licences used for very brief access requirements.

  • Commitment: None.

  • Cancellation: Can be deleted or cancelled at any time.

  • Cost: Charged at a daily rate based on usage.

  • Billing: Based on usage for the previous month (arrears).

  • Restriction: A daily licence cannot be changed to a monthly or contracted licence due to billing differences.

Daily licence billing triggers

Daily licences are useful for occasional users, such as subcontractors. Charges are applied retrospectively for any day where at least one of the following occurs:

  • An appointment is booked for that user.

  • An appointment is actioned by the user in the mobile app.

  • The user logs in on a PC or mobile device.

Note

  • Because charges can be triggered simply by a manager booking a diary event, the user does not strictly need to log in for a charge to occur.

  • Users can browse the schedule on the mobile app without incurring a daily charge if they are already logged in.


Storage allowances

Storage capacity is calculated based on the number of Contracted and Monthly rolling licences you hold. These combine to create a shared pool of data for your company.

This capacity is strictly used for attachments, such as site photos, videos, and PDF documents.

We do not limit the number of customers, jobs, or invoices you can save.

The storage capacity per user depends on your Commusoft plan:

Common questions

I added licences by mistake, how do I cancel them?

If any type of license is mistakenly added and remains in a pending signature status, it can be left unsigned to prevent activation. Pending licenses will automatically expire after a certain period, ensuring they do not take effect unless signed.
