Before you start

Required

  • Microsoft 365 tenant
  • SharePoint Online
  • Permission to upload apps to the SharePoint App Catalog
  • Permission to add web parts to modern site pages
  • An active Calendar Planner licence (or use the Free tier / 30-day Enterprise trial)

Recommended

  • Site Collection Administrator rights for the target site
  • A modern communication or team site for deployment
  • SharePoint List(s) for managing events (or any list with start and end date columns)

Licensing activation

Calendar Planner validates your subscription using a secure SaaS licensing check.

How it works

  1. The web part automatically detects your Microsoft 365 tenant ID
  2. It transmits only the tenant ID and app ID over HTTPS
  3. No personal or event data is transmitted
  4. Valid licences activate the app immediately

If your licence cannot be validated, you’ll see an in-app message with steps to resolve.

Manage License Key in the property pane

Manage your licence at the bottom of the web part property pane. Click Manage License Key to open the activation pane.

Activate License Key pane

Clicking Manage License Key opens the Activate License Key pane; paste your key and confirm.

Validated licence tier shown in the property pane

Once validated, the active licence tier appears at the top of the property pane.

Troubleshooting

Web part not appearing in the gallery?

  • Confirm the Calendar Planner app is installed on the site
  • Check the .sppkg was approved and deployed tenant-wide in the App Catalog

List not created?

  • The user installing may lack permission to create lists
  • Create the list manually from the template in the docs and select it in the property pane

Licence validation error?

  • Ensure your SaaS subscription is active in the marketplace
  • If the tenant ID does not match your subscription, contact support
