License consumption in OMIMSSC after server discovery

When you attempt to add a host or discover a bare-metal server, you are warned about your usage and it is recommended to purchase

new licenses under the following circumstances:

• If the number of licensed servers exceed beyond the number of licenses purchased

• If you have discovered servers equal to the number of licenses purchased

• If you exceed the number of licenses purchased, then you are given a grace license.

• If you have exceeded the number of licenses purchased, and all the grace licenses.

NOTE:

Grace license is 20 percent of the total number of license purchased. So the actual licenses you can use in

OMIMSSC is total licenses purchased plus the grace license.
