Freeing Licenses

Administrators can free up licenses from different screens based on the type of licenses in use.

Registered Devices

  • As mentioned in the Endpoint Management in the HyWorks section, after registration, all the devices are listed on the Devices > Devices screen.

  • Once an endpoint is registered with the Controller, it consumes one license.

  • To free up licenses the Administrator can manually delete offline or online endpoints from the Devices > Devices screen. Steps to delete endpoints are provided in the Endpoint Management in the HyWorks section.

  • Automatic deletion of inactive devices: The HyWorks Controller has a default policy to delete endpoints that have been inactive for a pre-defined duration. By default, this value is 30 days and can be modified from the Management Console > Settings > General > Advanced Config > Device life span. To keep devices registered forever, set this value to zero.

Named User Licenses

  • Every user gets registered in HyWorks after its successful login for the first time and consumes one license if HyWorks is installed with the Named User licenses.
  • The registered users can be seen in the Users > Registered Users section.
  • HyWorks does not delete any registered users. If the Administrator wants to free up any licenses, then users must be deleted manually from the Users > Registered Users section. The steps to delete Named Users are provided in the Registered User Management in the HyWorks section.
  • Automatic deletion of inactive users: The HyWorks Controller has a default policy to delete registered users that have been inactive for a pre-defined duration. By default, this value is set to 30 days and can be modified from the Management Console > Settings > General > Advanced Config > User life span. To keep users registered forever, set this value to zero.

Concurrent Sessions

  • Upon configuration with concurrent Session-based licenses, HyWorks uses one license for every user session. This license consumption is not dependent on applications or desktop sessions by the end-users.

  • One license will be consumed when a user is logged in and freed up automatically when the user logs out from HyWorks.

  • If the Administrator needs to free up licenses, the user sessions can be deleted from the Monitor > Live Sessions > User Sessions.
