Troubleshooting

The key does not have enough users

A KanBo license is generated for a specific number of users. After completing the following steps, you may see the “The key does not have enough users” message when entering KanBo. This means that the number of KanBo users you have already added is greater than the number of users covered by the new license.

To resolve this issue, please contact us for a temporary license, remove users from your KanBo, and change the license key.
