Hi @Community Alums,

 

based on a few PDI test, here are my results.

 

1) changed the "rights used" value for an entry in "samp_vmware_license_key_usage" and run a reconciliation -> no change to license position

2) changed the "cpu count" for a CI consuming a product available in the key_usage table and run a reconciliation -> license position changed

 

At first glance, it looks like the data in this table has no impact on compliance. Looking forward to other answers.

 

Best, Dennis

Thanks for your response.

I have deleted all the entries in 'samp_vmware_license_key_usage' and ran the reconciliation and it still works taking the installations into consideration.So what is the purpose of these tables?

How this data generated ?
