Bimcloud remote sign in license required dialogue box

[ELEVATE]

I am working for a architectural firm who has a paid SAAS bimcloud / server. We have added me as a user as lead architect with full access.   I have a archicad license.   When trying to log into the bim server via browser or share a file via teamwork share I am unable to access the server.  Thru the browser I get the following dialogue box:   Is there a step I am missing?  thankyou

Operating system used: Windows 23H2

Have you been assigned a BIMCloud SAAS licence? It is seperate as far as I know.

there's even a portable license workflow if you're accessing someone else's Saas:

Thanks for the information. 

If I have a ArchiCAD license but not a SAAS license, can I still join the SAAS bimcloud hosted by another office if they send me an invite?

Doesn't seem that I should have to purchase an SAAS licence to do work on someone else's server.  I am not storing any of my personal projects.  

This seems to get more confusing every year!  If the office I am contracting for sends me an invite, whos license am I using?  Theirs?  or mine?

Any other help would be great thanks.

if I understand correctly: when you don't have Saas license (or Archicad Collaborate license), the host must assign a license to you. If you have Saas/AC Collaborate license, you can set up yours to be "Portable license" and that will allow you to work on their server.

I do not have a SAAS license.  If the host has to assign a license to me to work remotely.  Does the host have to buy another license?  Or is it some type of virtual license he assigns to me?   

or is there a way to assign my license thru the invitation?  Thanks

From the article I linked, it would seem that they would need to assign you a license. They would need as many licences as they expect there to be concurrent users. This is seperate from your AC license.

Indeed, as @Lingwisyer answered, the host company will need to invite you (through one of your email address) to their Saas license pool, then assign a license for you to work on their server. I guess you'll need to work with the host company to test it out
