After purchasing, we will send the licence key to you. To activate it, create a list and the root site collection and add a list item. Below are the steps to do that.
1. Create a SharePoint List
- Navigate to the Top Site Collection:
- Open your SharePoint site in your web browser.
- Go to the top site collection. Enter https://yourtenant.sharepoint.com.
- Create a New List:
- Click on the Settings (gear icon) in the top right corner.
- Select Site contents.
- Click on New and then select List.
- Name the list UltimateWebParts.
- Click Create.
2. Add a Multiline Column
- Navigate to the List:
- Go to the UltimateWebParts list you just created.
- Add a New Column:
- Click on Add column.
- Select Multiple lines of text.
- Name the column LicenceKey.
- Ensure the Rich text option is not selected (choose Plain text instead).
- Click Save.
3. Add an Entry
- Add a New Item:
- In the UltimateWebParts list, click on New.
- Enter UltimateWebParts in the Title field.
- Enter the provided license key in the LicenceKey field.
- Click Save.
4. Update Item Permissions
- Navigate to the Item:
- Find the item you just created in the UltimateWebParts list.
- Open Item Permissions:
- Click on the ellipsis (…) next to the item and select Manage access.
- Click on Groups tab to open the item-level permissions for the group.
- Update Permissions:
- Find the associated site member group (e.g., [Site Name] Members).
- Change their permission level to Can view.
- Click Apply to save the changes.
You can further hide the list if you want (optional). Here is PnP PowerShell code to do that.
# Define the site URL and list name
$siteUrl = "https://yourtenant.sharepoint.com"
$listName = "UltimateWebParts"
# Connect to the SharePoint site
Connect-PnPOnline -Url $siteUrl -Interactive
# Hide the list
Set-PnPList -Identity $listName -Hidden $true
# Disconnect from the SharePoint site
Disconnect-PnPOnline
