Understanding units of a licensed software

This tab displays all applications or products that are part of the licensed software. It is only displayed if the units of the license are selected from the Software Catalog.

In the line above the table you can define how the license units are to be included in the licensed software. You have the following choices:

• Select all to include all listed units in the licensed software. This means that all units listed below must be installed on a device, otherwise this licensed software is not recognized as such and is not decounted in the license count.
• Select any to define that if even only one of the license units below is found installed on a device, this is counted as this licensed software and is decounted in the license count.

The Units tab displays all license units that are part of the currently selected licensed software. If the license unit is a product, all applications that are added to this product by the vendor are then automatically added to this license unit, after the Custom Applications is updated.
