Server drop-down menu, select the vCenter Server system where you want to set a threshold for the license
use of a product.

5 Click Edit Threshold in the Product Details pane.

You receive a message that the threshold is successfully set for the relevant product. The view in the Products
Chart refreshes after a few seconds and a bar appears that indicates the threshold value as a percent of the
license capacity of the product.
If the license use for the product exceeds the threshold amount, an alarm is triggered on the corresponding
vCenter Server, and a notice appears on the Reporting tab of the Licensing page. However, further use of the
product is not restricted.
NOTE The notifications might take several minutes to appear after a threshold is exceeded.
