Unlicensed Installations

page (in theReason | Symptom | Cure |
---|---|---|
There is no license created for an application of this name, version, and edition. Every reported installation of this application is unlicensed. |
Typically the Installed and Unlicensed counts will be the same, and Related Licenses displays 0 (zero). |

There is a license for the software, but for some reason
some installation(s) cannot be covered by that license.
Tip: These are complete exclusions from the license, and not simply
over-consumption. In contrast, a license where there are too many
related installations is shown "at risk", and over-utilized
installations are not included in this list.

Installed and Unlicensed counts may be different, and a count of Related Licenses will be shown. |
Investigate the reason for exclusion, such as:

device properties). This is the count of installations on
Active inventory devices.
Access right restrictions — The Installed column displays only the installations you have the right to view. Counts do not match the evidence. A figure in the Installed column might differ from evidence match counts because more than one piece of evidence may link to a single application. This might happen for applications with multiple installed components (leading to multiple installed evidence matches). For example, if an application is installed as three different components, each generating a file evidence, the evidence match count would be three, but the Installed count would be resolved to one. |
