License consumption Rules

  • Only Active apps are counted for license and the app can be scanned by admin/ vmmanager / developer.

  • Users with Developer / user role will not be able to view the license consumption message.

  • Inactive/Scanned/unmanaged/apps having scan error apps count is not considered for license, hence any active app is changed to one of these states, the license count should be reduced.

  • Updated license % is reflected only after re-login but the count can be checked immediately without re-login on SAM configuration license tab.

  • We do not get the option to close the notification when license consumption is 110%

Blocking Access to SAM

We provide 10% grace meaning; user can consume till 110% of license and after that access to application will be blocked for all users except VM Manager.

 

 

VM Manager can upgrade the license or he can revert or inactivate apps to bring the consumption % down.

License Notification

Admin receives the email notification when license consumption is crossed more than 70%
