Creating licensed applications groups

Expand all | Collapse all

To create a licensed applications group:

1. In the Advanced → Application management folder in the console tree, select the Third-party licenses usage subfolder.
2. Click the Add a licensed applications group button to run Licensed Application Group Addition Wizard.

   Licensed Application Group Addition Wizard starts.

3. On the Details of licensed applications group step, specify which applications you want to include into the applications group:
   • Name of licensed applications group
   • Track violated restrictions

     If one of the restrictions that you impose on a license key of the applications group is violated, Administration Server registers an informational, warning, or functional failure event:

     • Informational event: Limit of installations will soon be exceeded (more than 95% is used up) for one of the licensed applications groups
     • Warning event: Limit of installations will soon be exceeded for one of the licensed applications groups
     • Functional failure event: Limit of installations has been exceeded for one of the licensed applications groups

       An event is registered only once, when the stated condition is met. Next time, the same event can be registered only when the number of installations is returned to a normal level, and then the event happens again. An event cannot be registered more than once per hour.

   • Criteria for adding detected applications to this licensed applications group

     Specify criteria to define which applications you want to include into the applications group. You can define applications by the name of the application, its version, vendor, and tag. You must specify at least one criterion. An application is added to the group if at least one of the criteria is met.

4. On the Enter data about existing license keys step, specify the license keys that you want to track. Select the Control if license limit is exceeded option, and then add the license keys:
   1. Click the Add button.
   2. Select the license key that you want to add, and then click the OK button. If the required license key is not listed, click the Add button, and then specify the license key properties.
5. On the Add licensed applications group step, click the Finish button.

A licensed applications group is created and displayed in the Third-party licenses usage folder.
