You can remove individual license allocations, but removing the allocation does not
always mean that the inventory device or user disappears from the Related
user or Related devices list (depending on
license type) on the Consumption tab
of license properties.
Inventory devices or users (depending on license type) appear in this list either
because they have the licensed application installed or in use, or because they have
been allocated entitlements from this license; or both. Therefore, removing an
allocation will only clear the row from the list when there is no inventory record
pointing to license consumption.
To remove license allocations:
-
In the list of Related devices (or Related
users), set the selection check box (at the left of each row)
for the row(s) in question, and then click Deallocate.
You can deallocate multiple inventory devices or users at once.
-
Click Save to store your changes in the database.
Any records that were allocations only (without any installation or usage
reported through inventory) are cleared from the list. Other records that show
installation or usage remain in the list for the present; however, if there are
other licenses related to the same software, these computers or users may
consume from other licenses after the next compliance calculation (that is, with
the allocation removed, they are free to relocate to the most appropriate
available license at each compliance calculation). To ensure that the inventory
devices or users does not reappear on this license after the next compliance
calculation, you may allocate a different license to this inventory device or
user (which attaches them to the other license instead of this one).
