Adobe (Add-on) Note: The
license metric in not visible unless the Adobe publisher pack is
installed. |
- Per Device: Licenses a device for the number of installations of
software.
- Per User: Licenses a user for the number of installations of software.
- User Subscription: Licenses a user for the number of activated software
subscriptions.
When reconciliation is run for a software model that has one
or more entitlements with the User Subscription license metric, a right is
consumed for each active unique software subscription record assigned to a
user.
- A right is considered Allocated in use when a
user has both allocation and a subscription record.
- A right is considered Allocated not in use when a
user does not have a user allocation but has a subscription record.
- A right is considered Allocated not in use when a
user has a user allocation but does not have a subscription record.
If multiple rights are assigned to a user in a user allocation,
then the user has the corresponding number of subscriptions for the software
model. For example, if a user has a user allocation with a quantity of 2
rights, but only one subscription record related to a software model, then one
right is considered Allocated in use and a second right
is considered Allocated not in use.

Citrix (Add-on)Note: The license metric is not visible unless the Citrix publisher pack is
installed. A discovery process is required for Citrix data to
be collected. For ServiceNow
Discovery, a Discovery
schedule must be created by an admin to
run on the Citrix Delivery Controller for communication with the
Citrix License Server. See License Server and
Delivery Controller discovery
for discovery pattern and tables. |

IBM (Add-on) Note: The
license metric is not visible unless theIBM publisher pack is
installed. |
- Per Device: Licenses a device for the number of installations of
software.
- Per Named User: Licenses a specific user for the number of installations of
software.
- Per Processor (CPU count): Licenses processors on either a physical server or
virtual machine.
- Per User: Licenses a user for the number of installations of software.
- Processor Value Unit (PVU): Number of PVU entitlements required is based on
the processor technology and the number of processors made available to the
program.
- Full Capacity: License all activated processor cores in the physical
hardware environment.
- Sub-capacity: License fewer than the full capacity of your server or group
of servers.
- Resource Value Unit (RVU): RVU Proofs of Entitlement are based on the number
of activated processor cores used or managed by a product.
- Full Capacity: License all activated processor cores in the physical
hardware environment.
- Sub-capacity: License fewer than the full capacity of your server or group
of servers.

Microsoft
(Add-on) Note: The license metric in not visible unless theMicrosoft publisher pack is
installed. |
- Device CAL: Licenses the number of device client access licenses to server
software.
- Per Core: Licenses cores on both the physical server and the virtual cores
that support virtual machines and presents a cost-efficient model based on the
number of rights used. For information on Per Core for Microsoft SQL Server
Enterprise edition with Software Assurance, see Record software rights for a Microsoft Software Assurance.
Note: Per Core (Physical
Core) and Per Core (Virtual OSE) metrics is deprecated from the New York
release. Any existing entitlements using Per Core (Physical Core) and Per Core
(Virtual OSE) metrics are replaced with Per Core. You may see a change in your
reconciliation results.
- Per Core (with CAL): Licenses physical servers. The number of licenses depends
on the number of installs and Operating System Environments (OSE)s.
Per Core
(with CAL) licenses at the cluster level only when the physical server is an
ESX Server and is a part of a cluster. This license metric uses all processors
on every ESX Server within a cluster to determine the total number of
cores/processors that need to be licensed on the cluster. Note: If
vMotion/DRS is enabled on a cluster, any virtual machine can move to any ESX
Server within that cluster. The peak capacity of the cores on all the ESX
Servers is taken into consideration for rights needed to license the
cluster.
- Per Device: Licenses a device for the number of installations of
software.
- Per Processor: Licenses a set number of processors on a physical server.
- Per User: Licenses a user for the number of installations of software.
- Server (Per Instance): Licenses a set number of software installations on
either a physical server or virtual machine.
- Server (Per Server): Licenses all software installations on a physical server
and any virtual machines hosted by the physical server.
- User CAL: Licenses the number of user client access licenses to server
software.
- User Subscription: Licenses a user for the number of activated software
subscriptions.
When reconciliation is run for a software model that has one
or more entitlements with the User Subscription license metric, one right is
consumed for each active unique software subscription record assigned to a
user.
|
Concurrent Licenses (Add-on) Note: The license metric is not visible unless the
Software Asset Management Professional for Engineering Applications
(sn_samp_eng_app) plugin is activated. |
These licenses are based on the number of simultaneous users or devices accessing
the software.
- Floating: Shares and manages a pool of software among users or devices on a
network. Checks out a license when a user or device requests access to the
software. If at the peak of license consumption, there is no license left, the
user or device is denied access to the software. Rights consumed is based on the
peak number of licenses checked out during the specified period of time.
- Token: Shares and manages a pool of tokens among users or devices. Checks out
a token or a set of tokens when a user or device requests access to the
software. If at the peak of license consumption, there are no tokens left, the
user or device is denied access to the software. Rights consumed is based on the
peak number of tokens checked out during the specified period of time.
- Network: Shares and manages a pool of licenses among users or devices within a
specified TCP/IP network. Checks out a license when a user or device requests
access to the software. If at the peak of license consumption, there is no
license left, the user or device is denied access to the software. Rights
consumed is based on the peak number of licenses checked out during the
specified period of time.
