Multi-Organization Structure License
HyWorks supports license allocations for a multi-organizational structure. License allocations enable the Administrator to distribute licenses to multiple organizations as well as restrict license usage in specific organizations.
Licenses can be reserved for an organization in such a way that these licenses can be used only by this organization. It is possible to use licenses from the shared license pool across all organizations in the system. The maximum limit on usage from the shared pool can be set at each level of the organization.
License Distribution shown at the Parent (default) Organization
System level license details will always be visible at the Default organization, and as the default level is also considered an organization, it's own license usage will also be shown. At the default organization level, the following licensing information is available:
System Level (License usage)
Total Licenses Installed: The total number of licenses installed on the HyWorks Controller
Total Reserved: The total number of licenses reserved by all organizations
Shared License Pool: The total number of licenses that are available as a shared pool and can be used at any organizational level
Total Usage: The total number of licenses used by all the organizations
Reserved Usage: The total number of licenses used from the reserved pool across all the organizations

Note
- Upon license activation, all the licenses will be allocated to the parent organization
- On creating a new organization, the default allocation of the reserved licenses for this organization is zero, use of the shared license pool will be checked and unlimited usage of the shared license pool will also be checked.
- On deleting the organization, the reserved and used shared licenses will be allocated back to the default organization.
