🏭 Station Management – Manage Licensed Stations

The Station Management menu lets you control which production stations are configured in Next Plus under your license.
From here, you can approve, decline, and review station license requests, as well as manage already approved or declined stations.

This menu is used by Admins to enforce licensing rules and control station access.

Who should use this

✅ Admins / Sysadmins – full access to approve, decline, and manage stations

The Station Management screen is divided into three tabs, each representing a different station license state:

Common issues & FAQs

I don’t see any license requests

This usually means no new stations have attempted to connect or request a license yet.

Why can’t a user login to a station?

Check whether the station appears under Declined Stations or has not yet been approved in License Requests.

Does renaming a station affect production data?

No. Renaming only changes the display name and does not affect historical data or reporting.
