Entitlement Consumption Rules

[Community Alums]

Has anyone created consumption rules in addition to the OOTB rules? I've got a requirement where I need to build a consumption rule for specific cities and I was wondering if creating additional consumption rules was straight forward.

Hi @Community Alums , any update on this? Did you plan to adjust the recon engine as well , as I can image the consumption rule calculation is limited to the current 5 elements?

Hey Dennis,

My challenge I'm faced with is reconciling Visio and Project "per device" installations with two separate EA's in one country. The EAs are split by location.

I've created different software models for each variant of Project and Visio per location, associated the entitlements and created install conditions which restrict installation counting to specific locations, but this doesn't work.

Then I thought about using consumption rules, but this doesn't cater for location-specific rules. I'm not really sure why this is because I would have thought that location rules are more pervasive than departmental rules. Hence my question.

Do you have any experience with such use cases?

BR,  Mike.

Hey Dennis - I finally got this to work by using sw install conditions. Let me know if you'd like to catch up so that I can explain how I did this. 🙂

Hi @mikew_samexpert, nice approach to combine install conditions and consumption rules, correct?

Are you able to share some insights based on your use case?
