Subscription

To be able to activate and use a Workspace for your company, you need to be registered with AltiumLive and have active Altium 365 Subscription for Altium Designer. There are two plan levels available that determine the features and functionality available to you:

• Altium 365 Standard Subscription Plan - with this subscription plan you are able to activate a single private Altium 365 Workspace, with which you can manage and author all the data relevant to electronics design and realization (templates, cloud components, managed schematics, designs, releases, etc), with the ability to share live designs. Support for ECAD-MCAD CoDesign is also included with this level of subscription. Functionality is experienced from within Altium Designer and through your Web browser.
• Altium 365 Pro Subscription Plan - with this subscription plan you get Altium Concord Pro (hosted on the Altium 365 platform) included. You are able to activate a single private Altium 365 Workspace, with which you can manage and author all the data relevant to electronics design and realization (templates, managed schematics, designs, releases, etc), with the ability to share live designs. Support for ECAD-MCAD CoDesign is also included with this level of subscription. Additional services, features and functionality provided through having Concord Pro are made available, including full managed components with component validation and where-used capability, component templates, part requests and component synchronization. Functionality is experienced from within Altium Designer and through your Web browser.

Getting a Workspace

If your company has not yet activated their Workspace, then you will be guided to do so. There are various places in which to find controls to facilitate this:

• The altium.com/365-intro/ section of the altium.com site - offering a control to activate a Workspace from any of its pages.
• The Altium 365 Platform Interface - a generic Workspace region will be presented, along with the  button.
• Your AltiumLive profile page - a control is presented under the Workspaces region of the page.
• From within Altium Designer - most features that require connection to a Workspace will offer a control to activate it, if needed.

In any of these areas, click the available control to start the process of Workspace activation. You will be taken directly to a dedicated web page (https://www.altium.com/365-intro/activate) with which to do so. Then just follow a few steps:

1. Enter the name you wish to call your Workspace. By default this field will be pre-filled with the name of your Altium account.
2. Choose a location from the drop-down to which you and your team are closest. By default the location will be preselected based on the Country entry from your AltiumLive profile contact information.
3. Add an optional description.
4. Click .

Provided you have active Altium 365 Subscription for your Altium Designer licensing, you can activate the Workspace for your company, if it has not been activated already.

If a Workspace has already been activated for your company by someone else, you can request access to it from an Administrator of that existing Workspace. In this case, the activation web page (https://www.altium.com/365-intro/activate) will provide a  button with which to do so. You can also participate in a Workspace owned by another organization, and to which you have been invited as a team member.

Once you have activated your organization's Workspace, or have been added as part of a Workspace's Team, you will be able to access its browser interface directly by signing in to the Altium 365 Platform Interface ( https://365.altium.com). For information on how to connect to your Workspace from within Altium Designer, see Access from within Altium Designer.

Invitation after Initial Workspace Activation

If you are the person activating the Workspace for your organization, you have the opportunity to invite other people from within your own organization into the team for that Workspace, after the activation process completes. You will be taken to the Team page of the Workspace's browser interface and presented with the Invite Team Members window.

After activating the Workspace for your company, you can 'blanket' invite other people from your own organization.

All members of your organization with an AltiumLive account will be listed and included for invitation by default. Click an associated  control to exclude a person from the invite. Click the  control in the Name header to quickly exclude all people in the list. A generic greeting message is provided - this will appear in the email invite each included person receives. Change this message as required.

With all people included as required, click the  button. Those users will automatically be added to the team and invitation emails sent out for them to access the Workspace.

Should you wish to not invite other people into the Workspace team at this time, click the  button. You can invite others into the team at anytime thereafter. For more information, see Inviting Other Users to Your Team.

Are there any Limitations?

The following is a list of considerations with respect to Workspaces:

• While access to Workspaces has been available since Altium Designer 19.0, it is recommended to have Altium Designer 20.1 or later. In any event, it is always advisable to use the latest available version of Altium Designer.
• Only one (1) Workspace can be activated per organization.
• Accessing a Workspace (for which you are an invited member of the team) from a web browser, or MCAD software, is free.
• Accessing a Workspace (for which you are an invited member of the team) from within Altium Designer requires active Altium 365 Subscription for your Altium Designer licensing.
• There is no limit on:
  • How many users can connect to a Workspace instance through its browser interface.
  • How many users can connect to a Workspace instance through Altium Designer (naturally limited to the licensed number of seats of Altium Designer with active Altium 365 Subscription).
  • The number of users added to the team for a Workspace instance.
  • The number of MCAD Engineers connecting and collaborating on projects that are managed within a Workspace instance.

Privacy & Sharing

By default, all created content in a Workspace is visible only to the individual user creating that content and Workspace Administrators. In order to make it available to others, it needs to be explicitly shared with an individual user, role, or your entire team.

In order to allow a contractor to work on a design (using company components, templates etc...), they need to be invited into the Workspace instance. Access rights would need to be looked at closely, as they could gain accidental access to areas you don't want them to see.

You can share your designs with people outside of your Workspace team - for viewing and commenting only - without the need to invite them into that team. This allows invited stakeholders to view a live, work-in-progress design project from any web browser, anywhere in the world, without gaining access to your full server of design data. As the relevant members of your Workspace team make changes to the design, those changes can be viewed 'live' by those external people. And this functionality is delivered through the platform, but outside of an Altium 365 Workspace - so all that's needed is registration with AltiumLive to gain access. For more information, see Sharing Live Designs Outside of the Workspace.

You can create and share a manufacturing package without inviting people into your Workspace team. Those people can then browse the content of that package through Altium 365's Manufacturing Package Viewer - an element of the Altium 365 platform's Global Sharing support that allows invited stakeholders to view a manufacturing package from any web browser - anywhere in the world - but outside of your Workspace. This allows you to keep your designs themselves, and other valuable IP, off limits.

Subscription Expiration & Data Retention

If a Workspace team member attempts to connect to your Workspace, but the Alitum 365 Subscription for their Altium Designer license has expired, they will be alerted to this fact on connection. They will be given the choice to temporarily connect to the Workspace with full access, or to contact an Altium representative to discuss subscription renewal.

If there is no active Altium 365 Subscription across any of the Altium Designer licensing for your company account with Altium (to which your Workspace is associated), then the Workspace will switch over to being Read-only. All team members will still be able to view/work with existing content in the Workspace, but will not be able to modify that existing content in any way, nor create any new content.

In addition, this use of existing content is only permitted for the time period defined in the Data Retention Policy. You will be given a certain time for data extraction. After 3 months, you will be notified that your Workspace will be archived due to lapsed subscription. After further notification and opportunity to renew subscription, the Workspace will be archived. It will be deleted from the archive after a further 6 months.

Data can be extracted from the instance prior to that by:

• Exporting components to IntLib format.
• Checking out designs.
• Downloading release packages.

Managing Workspaces

You can see a listing of the Workspaces to which you currently have access (are a team member of) from your AltiumLive Profile page.

Example defined Workspaces, listed when accessing your AltiumLive Profile page.

If you are the owner of your company's Workspace, that Workspace will appear under the sub-section MY WORKSPACES. If you have been added to the teams of one or more Workspaces (for your own company and those of other companies), these will appear under the sub-section SHARED WITH ME.

Each workspace is listed in terms of the following information:

• Workspace Name - the name of the Workspace (and its description). This is a live link that, once clicked, will take you to the Altium 365 Platform Interface with that Workspace loaded as the active Workspace.
• Status - the current state of the Workspace is depicted in the graphical icon to the left. This will be Active () provided you have the relevant active Altium 365 Subscription and have activated the Workspace.

• Location - location of the server on which the Workspace is hosted (Europe, Asia, US East, or US West).
• User - the current number of users defined in the Team for the Workspace. There is no limit to the number of users that can be added to a Workspace's team.
• Default - if you are part of (have access to) multiple Workspaces, one of these can be nominated to be the default Workspace. Click the  button associated to a Workspace to make that the default Workspace (the button will change to show ). Setting a Workspace as default means that when you sign in to the Altium 365 Platform Interface, that Workspace will be loaded as the active Workspace. If a default is not defined, the alphabetically first Workspace will be loaded.

• Action - the following action buttons are provided:
  •  - click this button to access the Admin - Settings - General page of the Workspace's browser interface, from where changes to the Workspace's name and description can be made. Changes can only be made by the Administrator who is also the Owner of the Workspace, and not by any other Administrator of that Workspace.
  •  - this button is only available for another organization's Workspace, which has been shared with you (by invite to that team). Click to remove yourself from the Workspace. A confirmation dialog will appear, click OK.  You will be removed from that Workspace's team and the entry for the Workspace will be removed from your available Workspaces listing.
  •  - this button is only available for a Workspace that has been activated for your organization (and for which you are the owner). Click to deactivate the Workspace. A confirmation dialog will appear, alerting you to the fact that all data in the Workspace will be deleted. To proceed with deactivation, enter the name of the Workspace, then click the  button.
