Why am I seeing "This web part is not licenced for this site" message on Cloud Design Box web parts

If you believe you are seeing this message in error, please contact our support team at support@clouddesignbox.co.uk.


How our licencing works

When you purchase a license for Cloud Design Box, we detect which sites should display the megamenu and use Cloud Design Box web parts based on the site's prefix. This prefix is usually a short code for your organisation, chosen during the onboarding phase.


For schools or businesses with no other entities on the tenant, we can enable the megamenu and web parts across all sites regardless of the URL prefix. Please reach out to support@clouddesignbox.co.uk if you need this feature enabled.


MATs with some licensed schools

If you are part of a Multi-Academy Trust, licensed schools and trust sites will function correctly, while unlicensed sites will encounter this error. Licensing a school provides access to web parts and includes additional benefits. To benefit from our full set of features, please reach out to info@clouddesignbox.co.uk, or call 01482 68890, to discuss an additional license.
