Does archived CIs count for licensing?

[Canjura]

Hi, 

I just want to confirm whether or not archived CIs ("ar_" tables) count for licensing subscription counters?

Thanks,

Details on Licensing are here -

How Discovery Node Licenses consumed are calculated. - Support and Troubleshooting (servicenow.com)

ITOM Licensing FAQ - Support and Troubleshooting (servicenow.com)

Coming to your query Archived CI from CMDB and assuming its also not available on n/w for Dsicovery is not counted by License Job. Hope this helps.

Hi Rahul, 

Sorry, what do you mean with "assuming its also not available on n/w for Dsicovery"?

Thanks.

Means 

a Given CI has  a lifecycle. Deployed CI will be decommissioned and its not on network for discovery.

Given Record in CMDB for the CI is made Retired Status. And You are archiving Old retired CIs.
