# Assign OpenBOS Licenses

Before configuring the *openBOS* app, assign the required licenses to the Building Edge that should provide data to BuildingPro Suites.

You need both of the following licenses for the *openBOS* connection:

* **openBOS as a Service**: The subscription license for the OpenBOS connection.
* **openBOS Capacity**: The capacity license for the data points that are synchronized from the Building Edge.

A valid BuildingPro Suites license is also required. If the included one-month license has expired, activate a purchased voucher or obtain a valid license before continuing. For more information, see [Activate a Voucher](/collection/getting-started/1.-create-users-and-tenants/check-license-and-access-status.md).

## Assign a license

Repeat the following steps for both the **openBOS as a Service** and **openBOS Capacity** licenses:

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.buildings.ability.abb/collection/getting-started/2.-configure-edge-and-connect-via-openbos/assign-openbos-licenses.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
