| By CPU |
- By CPU cores: The counter adds up the total license
rights for all software license records of this model. The CPU
Core Count field on the hardware configuration item determines
the number of rights consumed by any software installation located on the
configuration item. For that installation, the counter checks for a valid
entitlement record on any of the software license records. Applies to
software installation data and hardware configuration items.
- By number of CPUs: The counter adds up the total
license rights for all software license records of this model. The
CPU Count field on the hardware configuration item
determines the number of rights consumed by any software installation
located on the configuration item. For that installation, the counter checks
for a valid entitlement record on any of the software license records.
Applies to software installation data and hardware configuration items.

| By number of points |
Per installation - IBM PVU: The counter adds up the
total license rights for all software license records of this model. The
installation count for every hardware configuration item that has IBM PVU
software is a point calculation. The CPU type determines the PVU per-core
multiplier based on the IBM PVU mapping table. The total number of cores on the
configuration item is multiplied with this per-core multiplier to determine how
many rights are used by an installation on this configuration item. For that
installation, the counter checks for a valid entitlement record on any of the
software license records. Applies to software installation data and hardware
configuration items.
This license type is present but does not work until the Software Asset Management plugin
IBM PVU
Process Pack is active. |
| By Client Access License (CAL) |
- CAL (Device): The counter adds up the total license
rights for all software license records of this model. Usage is counted as
one installation for every unique configuration item (device). For each
installation, the counter checks for a valid entitlement record on any of
the software license records. The Software Usage [ast_usage] table is used
for counting.
- CAL (User): The counter adds up the total license rights
for all software license records of this model. Usage is counted as one
installation for every unique user. For that installation, the counter
checks for a valid entitlement record on any of the software license
records. The Software Usage [ast_usage] table is used for counting.
|
| By user |
- Number of installs per user: The counter adds up the
total license rights for all software license records of this model. It
counts an installation when one software installation matches the discovery
models that are mapped to this software model for any hardware used by a
user. It counts up to the specified amount. For that installation, the
counter checks for a valid entitlement record on any of the software license
records. Applies to software installation data and hardware configuration
items.
- Per named user: The counter adds up the total license
rights for all software license records of this model. It counts an
installation when there is at least one software installation that matches
the discovery models that are mapped to this software model for any hardware
used by a unique user. For that installation, the counter checks for a valid
entitlement record on any of the software license records. Applies to
software installation data and hardware configuration items.
- No license needed (User): The counter adds up the total
number of users of this model. It counts an installation when there is at
least one software installation that matches the discovery models that are
mapped to this software model for any hardware used by a unique user. It
applies to software installation data and hardware configuration items. This
license type is used for software installations where no license is
required, such as open source applications.
To compare Number of installs per user and Per named
user:
- Number of installs per user counts the number of installs
the user has and assigns license cost based on installs per license. For
example, UserA has three installs. One license is used by each install, for
a total of three licenses.
- For Per named user, there is no install limit for a
particular user. For example, UserB, who has three installs, needs only one
license for the three installs.

| By utilization |
- Usage (CPU): The counter adds up the total license rights
for all software license records of this model. The counter looks at all of
the software usage data mapped to any of the discovery model records of the
counter's software model. It counts one installation for every unique
configuration item. For that installation, the counter checks for a valid
entitlement record on any of the software license records. Applies to
software usage data.
- Usage (User): The counter adds up the total license
rights for all software license records of this model. The counter looks at
all of the software usage data mapped to any of the discovery model records
of the counter's software model. It counts one installation for every unique
user Accessed From hardware configuration item. For that installation, the
counter checks for a valid entitlement record on any of the software license
records. Applies to software usage data.
|
| By workstation |
- Per workstation: The counter adds up the total number of
license rights for all software license records of this model. It counts an
installation when there is at least one software installation on a hardware
configuration item that matches the discovery models that are mapped to this
software model. For each installation, the counter checks for a valid
entitlement record on any of the software license records. Applies to
software installation data and hardware configuration items.
- No license needed (Workstation)This license type is used
for software installations where no license is required, such as open source
applications.

| By Oracle install |
- Oracle Named User: Oracle licensing scheme that counts by
the number of unique users.
- Oracle Named User Plus: Oracle licensing scheme that
counts by the number of unique users and accounts.
- Oracle Processor: Oracle licensing scheme that counts by
the number of processors on a server.
This category and its license types are available when the Oracle Process Pack
is activated. |
