Troubleshooting

  • The key does not have enough users

A KanBo license is always generated for an exact number of users. Sometimes after completing the following steps, you can see the "The key does not have enough users" message when entering KanBo. This means that the current number of already added KanBo users is bigger than a number of users covered by a new license.

To get rid of this issue, please message us for a temporary license, remove users from Your KanBo and change back the license key.
