Configuring Counts for Trusted Activation

If the entitlement line item contains a counted license model (trusted, server), you are prompted to define a fulfill count for each server host. If the entitlement line item contains a

•

retail license (uncounted) and you define multiple host IDs, then:

•

multiple licenses files are created, one for each host ID.

•

the Copies value for the entitlement line item decrements by the number of hosts you define.

•

server license (counted) and you define multiple host IDs, then:

•

multiple licenses files are created, one for each host ID.

•

the Copies value for the entitlement line item decrements by the sum of the fulfillment counts for each server.

Whether the entitlement line item is an upgrade, upsell, or renewal, the available information and options in the Configure Counts page are the same.

Important:FlexNet Operations does not evaluate the count of available copies when an upgrade is created. Therefore, it is possible to create an upgrade count that exceeds the number of available copies; however, the count is evaluated at fulfillment time. On fulfillment, upgrades that exceed the available count are rejected. To avoid errors at fulfillment time, users can invoke the method getExactAvailableCount(), which returns the exact number of copies available for upgrade fulfillment. This method is available as a web service call and also as part of public API.

Review the prepopulated fields on the Configure Counts page. The number of data fields that are displayed varies depending on how the license model is defined. An important value in this list is:

Total Remaining Copies: The number of copies in the entitlement line item that can be activated. This is the maximum number of licenses that the customer can fulfill against this entitlement line item, regardless of whether the fulfillment is a new or is an upgrade, upsell, or renewal of another product.

Configure Count Fields
Property	Description
Available Copies	The number of copies in the entitlement line item that can be fulfilled as a new activation. It does not include the number of copies that are available as an upgrade to another product. This does not include Extra Activations.
Extra Activations Available	This number is set when you define the license model. This is the number of extra copies of the product (beyond what was purchased) that is available to be activated.
Pending Copies	If you have defined multiple server host IDs, this is the number of copies that have already been assigned to the other Hosts IDs in this activation action.
Fulfill Count	The total number of licenses you want to fulfill for this server host ID. Specify a fulfill count for each of the fulfillments you are generating.
Remaining Overdraft	The number of remaining unused Overdraft Licenses.
Overdraft	Enter the number of Overdraft licenses you want to allow for this server host ID.

Finish specifying the Configure Counts properties for the current host.

Click Next to go to the Generate Licenses - Review page.

Note:When the activation includes multiple hosts, an arrow in the Hosts list indicates the current host. Clicking Next on the Configure Counts page advances to the next host. When counts are configured for the last host, clicking Next advances you to the Review step.
