Managing licenses
The Manage Licenses feature enables you to manage licenses for the product selected in the Product License
Information table. Licenses can originate from direct user input, license information collected using Collect
License Info .
From the License Manager page, select a product, and then click Manage Licenses. The License Manager
window is updated with information about the available licenses for the selected product, including:
• License Category. The type of license. All permanent, paid licenses are displayed as a single category,
even though you might have purchased several separate licenses. License Manager does not consider
the purchase date.
• Licenses Available. The total number of licenses that are available to assign to systems .
• Licenses Assigned. The total number of licenses of the selected type that are assigned to systems.
• Licenses Used. The total number of licenses that have been used by systems. A license is not used
until the product has been used on a system. This total includes previously used licenses that have
expired.
• Days permitted. The total number of days authorized for use by this license (time specific licenses
only). For BETA licenses, this is the number of days from the date the license was issued. For subscription
licenses, it is the number of days since the license was first used on any target. For all others, it is the
number of days from when the license was first used on the selected target. All uses of this license after
the first use has the same number of days remaining as the target first licensed.
• Days remaining. The number of days before the license expires. Some licenses will show Days
remaining as the same as Days permitted as the time to expire is determined when the license is applied
to a target and only relates to that target. Others will show an equal or lesser number as the time to
expire is based on the first application of the license or based on when the licenses was issued for
these types of license. With a BETA license, the Days remaining will always be less than the Days
permitted even if the license has not been used on any target.
