Sites licenses are for businesses and organizations that would like to pay a single bill, generally yearly, that allows them to provide one or more Omni apps to many of their employees. With site licenses, the business or organization manages the list of users themselves, through logins to their website.
If you are interested in purchasing a site license for your organization, please contact sales@omnigroup.com. More information about other business licensing options is available here.
This process applies to all supported apps!
The steps and screenshots below use OmniGraffle for illustration purposes, but the same steps are applicable to all Omni apps.
