License metrics for a couple subscription products

[markschwart]

Hello!

My question is regarding license metrics for subscription products.  I am reconciling Office Timeline and Think-Cell products which we placed in as manual on-premise subscription entitlements.  Since the license type is subscription, and since both of these subscription products have a valid license span of one year, I was pretty sure that the metric group would be common and the license metric would be per device (we have a certain number of license accessed be devices

However, I wanted to make 100% positive, so I conferred with Co-Pilot, and it said that it would be right to use metric group of subscription and license metric of user subscription.  

I just want to make sure that it would be per device license metric with metric group of common rather than user subscription license metric with a metric group of subscription.

I see both of these setups have much different true up costs, and these true up costs are very important to be precise

Hi @markschwart ,

you should check license metric provided by the vendor entitlement and check this metric with your current contract and the definition of the vendor.

As long co pilot is not aware of the terms and conditions, I won’t trust 🙂

I got your point about the subscription, because this is the only option in SAM to get a termination date and the status will be retired, this isn’t possible with Perpetual, but. Per device isn’t available for subscription, correct?
