What are connection questions?

Connection questions (in basic mode), customized connection forms (advanced mode), and mappings define the criteria by which CIs are connected to certificates.

A default set of connection behavior is used regardless of whether connection questions or forms are configured for a license type. See Default behavior for customized license types.

If the default behavior is sufficient, connection questions, or forms, do not have to be configured for a custom license type.
To determine which CIs should be connected to a license certificate, the license engine uses the answers supplied to connection questions or supplied in connection forms at the time a license certificate is created. For more information about creating license certificates, see Managing software licenses.
