Windows: "Resilio Sync.exe" /identity Name

Once the identity is created, apply the license file

Linux: ./rslsync --license /path/to/Sync_Home.btskey
Windows: "Resilio Sync.exe" /license C:\path\to\Sync.btskey


Share a License Seat

Once you've applied the multi-seat Business license key to an identity, share the remaining seats with others.  On license Owner go to License menu and click to e-mail or copy the link and send it to other device.

- 'Copy' - this will copy license sharing link to clipboard. You can then manually paste the link into an e-mail, text file, message etc which will be sent to another person.

When a person receives the link, they need to paste it to "Manual Connection" field in Sync. License Owner will get request for accessing the seat:
