Managing licenses across multiple companies can be complex in large organizations. With multitenancy in TeamViewer Tensor, you can distribute licenses from a parent company to child companies within a single hierarchy. This allows centralized control while keeping flexibility for each tenant. This article explains how to share, edit, and remove licenses using multitenancy.
This article applies to all TeamViewer Tensor license holders, except Tensor Access.
Key differences from Tensor Classic (Management Console)
If you are using the Management Console (Tensor Classic), see:
Distribute your license via MCO
The process in TeamViewer Tensor is different:
- Licenses remain owned by the parent company
- Licenses are not moved to an organization level
- Licenses are shared directly from the parent to the child tenants
- Child companies can have multiple license types at the same time
- The same license cannot be shared via both Tensor Classic and TeamViewer Tensor
License sharing
License sharing (also called license splitting) allows a parent company to distribute parts of its license to one or more child companies.
The parent defines how many slots are shared
The child receives the license automatically
No action is required on the child’s side
Splittable licenses and minimum required slots
Parent companies can share specific licenses with child companies if the minimum required number of slots for each license type is met.
These minimum values must be respected from both perspectives:
In other words, a license can only be split if both sides meet the minimum requirements independently.
Example
A parent company has a Tensor Pro license with 20 user slots.
The minimum requirement is 10 users.
The parent can share 10 user slots with a child company
The parent keeps 10 user slots (minimum requirement met)
The child receives 10 user slots (minimum requirement met)
Sharing fewer than the minimum (for example, 5 users) is not allowed, as neither side would meet the required threshold.
The table below shows which licenses are eligible and the required minimum slots.
