managed software question
We have a total of 37 licenses for a piece of software we have identified in SDP.
The difficulty is that updates are free so we have some clients using version 9.0, some using 9.1, and some using the current build of 9.1.1
SDP see's these as separate instances of software, which they are, but how does one go about allocating licenses properly for this? (see my attached image)
As it is we have the 37 licenses allocated to the version 9.1 software, but it would then look like we are under licensed for the 9.0 and 9.1.1 versions, which we are not.
The trouble comes with we do not know when a client will update their particular install. When they do update it, and we audit the workstations again, it will look like we don't have licenses for that version.
What is everyone else doing to avoid this issue?
What is SDP Supports recommendation on this?
Thanks,
Anton
