A) How to designate an Office Timeline Online license manager

When buying an Office Timeline subscription, you have the option to commission a license manager right at purchase, by clicking on the “Someone else will manage the licenses” checkbox during the checkout process. As soon you finalize the purchase, the designated manager will be notified by email about their role and receive license administration instructions.
