    If the Origins integration is already set-up, click on Origins to go to the Origins Configuration screen.

    Account ID Enter your Origins "Account ID" from your Origins account (your Account ID under "Setup -> Account Setup -> Account"
    Confirmation Email If you would like to be notified of each Origins transaction processed by software_DNA, select the Receive Transaction Confirmation Email option. software_DNA will send an email to the Product_Contact person for this product with key information taken from the transaction.
    License Fulfillment Choose from two License activation code options:

    Once created, the Add Product SKU button will appear, and you will need to configure each Origns SKU associated with this DNA Product as shown in the next section.

 

Adding Origins SKU’s to the DNA Connector

For each Origins SKU (configured in Origins as Product Options) that will use this DNA Product, you will add a SKU Configuration as follows:

  1. From the Origins Connector Configuration screen, click on ADD Product SKU, or click on an existing Product SKU, to bring up the SKU Configuration screen:

    Add SKU
  2. Enter the SKU that you entered in the Origins Product configuration for this product / subscription. This can be different then the software_DNA Product SKU.

  3. You would use different RevenueWire SKU’s for the standard product versus an upgrade product in Origins, or for different multi-user seat settings.

    Up to 25 Origins SKU’s can be configured per DNA Connector

  4. If you have defined multi-user licenses in your Product Configuration, select the <License Seats> that will be used when generating or upgrading a License Activation Code for this SKU.

  5. If you use Feature-based licensing, enter the default <license_data> that will be used when generating or upgrading an Activation Code for this SKU (this field will not appear if you have not enabled this option).

  6. If required, you can specify Override settings for this specific Origins SKU. Override settings will be used instead of the Default DNA Product configuration settings when generating the License Code for this transaction:

    • Check the Override Checkbox for the override setting to be used
    • The Prefix will override the <Prefix> setting of the DNA Product
    • The Expiration Period will override the setting of the DNA Product
    • The Language will override the setting of the DNA Product
  7. Click on SAVE to save this SKU configuration

The UserPurchaseDate, License Activation Code, Buyer Email and the Origins TransactionID are stored and available for viewing in the Product Configuration screen or the Code View screen or for download from the DNA Control Panel under the menu Reports.

You can retrieve the complete transaction information directly from your Origins account at any time. Please consult the Origins web site for these options.
