License limits
Limiting number of users
Commercial licenses are delivered with user limit which is the maximum number of unique users (usernames or user-host pairs) which can be monitored by License Statistics within a specified time range. The number of users is calculated differently depending on the gathering type:
- Realtime User Count limit is the maximum number of users monitored on realtime license servers in the last 14 days.
- Imported User Count limit is the maximum number of users monitored on imported license servers in the entire history (all imported users are counted).
Denied User Count is unlimited. User denials are not counted in the user license limit.
Limiting number of license servers
Commercial licenses are delivered with a license server limit, which sets a maximum number of license servers that can be added for License Statistics monitoring. The license server limit is done differently depending on gathering type, as described below.
- Realtime license servers limit is the maximum number of license servers that can be actively monitored in the same time. License servers that are disabled by the customer are not counted. The customer can add an unlimited number of realtime license servers, but the application will start monitoring only the maximum number the license allows.
- Imported license servers limit is the maximum number of license servers that can be imported to License Statistics using import logs. Only License Servers imported in the last 3 months are counted towards the limit.
Licensing issues
License Statistics handles issues with exceeding license thresholds or expiration date differently depending on the case, as described in the following table.
