Active Directory Plug-in: License Provisioning
Users need to acquire appropriate licenses in order to use the AD features.
•After successful addition and deletion of users, the system will attempt to de-allocate and re-allocate available ‘user’ licenses depending on the base customer’s licenses allocation.
•The allocation of licenses will be attempted in a breadth-first traversal of the base customer's tree, until no more licenses are available to allocate.
•Existing user licenses remain unaffected. That is, if users are identified as having a particular license already then the application skips the allocation of that license to that user.
•The system will attempt to ensure the total quantity of licenses the parent customer has purchased and correctly distributed. That is, it can be assumed that the licese allocation logic would be : Total Licenses = Allocated Licenses - Remaining Licenses. |
