License Error – Maximum Employees Exceeded Error While Trying To Export Payroll:

Receiving the License Error – Maximum Employees Exceeded message while trying to export payroll hours occurs when the number of employees or supervisors in the system has exceeded the current license key limit. To confirm, check the License Key Count:

  1. Click on ABOUT page on the top right.
  2. Click on the INSTALLED OPTIONS tab.
  3. Once on this page, TimeStar will provide you a Warning message and which License Key is over the limit. Please review the Capacity vs Actual column.
System Administrators will begin to receive the following warning message when logging in to the system and either the employee count, or supervisor count, is at 90% capacity or above.

Resolution:

To resolve the Payroll Export Error: License Limit Exceeded, there are two options available:

  • Purchase additional License Key for the number of employees, supervisors, or both if needed.
  • Remove any unneeded employees or supervisors in the system to get at or below current License Key capacity limits.
Who Counts As A Supervisor? A user is considered a supervisor and will count against the license limit when they have at least one employee assigned to report to them directly.

Purchasing additional License Key:

If it is determined a new License Key is needed, please reach out to your sales representative or the Delphia Support Team to start on the process of purchasing a new License Key.

If a new License Key has already been purchased and received, below are the steps on how to add the new License Key:
