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 HyWorks section, after registration, all devices are listed in the Monitoring -- Endpoints screen.

  • Registered devices do not get deleted automatically. 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 Monitoring > Endpoints screen. Steps to delete endpoints are provided in the Endpoint Management in HyWorks section.

  • Automatic deletion of inactive devices, HyWorks Controller has default policy to delete endpoints which are not active for a pre-defined duration. By default, this value is 30 days and can be modified from Management Console -> System -> Advanced Config -> Device life span. To keep devices 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 Named user licenses.
  • The registered users can be seen in Monitoring -- User Details section.
  • HyWorks does not delete any registered user and thus if administrator wants to free-up any licenses, then users must be deleted manually from Monitoring -- User Details section. The steps to delete named users are provided in section Registered User Management in HyWorks
  • Automatic deletion of inactive users, HyWorks Controller has default policy to delete registered users which are not active for a pre-defined duration. By default, this value is 30 days and can be modified from Management Console -> System -> Advanced Config -> User life span. To keep users 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 end-users.

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

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