Visma Business Services setup
The product-line installer configures Visma Business Services, including service activation, the WCF service port and the maximum pool of Visma Business instances. Capacity can also be limited by the Visma Business license. Use the installation guide that matches your deployed version.

VBS licensing and user access
The vendor licensing notes distinguish Named user and Server integration modules. At least one user must be assigned VBS modules. A named user can use both the regular interface and VBS; Server integration is for VBS use only. These documented prerequisites do not establish which business operations your installation exposes.
