Changes to user licences

If there are changes to the users of the dataset or the aim is to extend the period of use of the dataset, changes to the user licence must be applied for.

Changes to users or validity of licence

A licence application concerning a user change must be submitted if

  • the user's organisation changes
  • the person responsible for the project changes
  • a user licence is needed for a new user
  • one of the dataset users will start using the dataset abroad.

Changing the location of use abroad in FIONA remote access projects

If one of the project researchers is moving abroad to use the data, it should be remembered that the dataset can be used from abroad in FIONA remote access projects only if the project is connected to a Finnish organisation. Such a change always requires an application for a change to the user licence.

The remote access connection from abroad is obtained through the Finnish organisation that has concluded the agreement. The customer organisation is responsible for the remote work and remote work connection of such a researcher.

How to apply for a licence change?

Apply for a change to the user licence in Statistics Finland's licensing service. The researcher in charge must approve the application in the licensing service before the application is sent. You can apply for a licence for more than one change at the same time. Always add the reference number of the previous decision to the application.

If you apply only for continuation and/or user changes for a project, select Only continuation of licence and / or addition of user in the licensing service's catalogue.

You usually need appendices to the application. Have the appendices ready before logging in to the licensing service.
