Version 1.0.0

It varies between three different metric types in ACMP.

 

Installation based

The metric type Installation based determines the license consumption based on the sum of found installations of a software or operating system. It can be determined whether the simultaneous use of an operator can be covered with just one license or further licenses are to be put into play.  

 

User CAL

By metric type the User CAL a license must be procured for every user that accessed a software (mostly a server software). As a source for the determination of the consumption, an LDAP Scan (User) as well as an ACMP Scan (Contact) can be used.

As with the installation based metric type, it can be set whether the concurrent use by an operator is covered with one license.
 

Device CAL

By metric type Device CAL, a license must be procured for every device which accesses a software (mostly a server software). As a source for determining the consumption an LDAP Scan (Computer), as well as an ACMP Scan (Clients) or even an ACMP Scan (Assets) can be used.

For the metric type Device CAL it can be set whether the concurrent use of a device is covered by one license or further licenses need to be used.
