Named users: Add the Licensing Script Step
Updated on Mar 31, 2021ArticleIf your app is going to be deployed to named users, you need to add the script step that allows LCFM Native to license it correctly and collect your users names.
Warning! If you are deploying with a named user license pack, and you do not add this script step, you will not be able to deploy the app.
You can put this script step wherever seems best for your app. A natural place for it is on a login screen, but depending on how your app is structured you might want it to be somewhere else. As long as it is present and collecting user names, it is not important for the functioning of LCFM Native where it is put.
You can see how the script step is used in this very simple sample app.
