This is the default tab. It displays the list of computers whose licenses will be released and therefore will cease to be administered.
If the licenses that are about to expire are licenses of Panda Cloud Office Protection for Windows/Linux, the window will display computers with this operating systems only. If the licenses to expire were licenses of Panda Cloud Office Protection for OS X, the window would display computers with this operating system only.
The information is divided into four columns: Computer, Group, Installation date, and Insertion. The Insertion column displays the term Automatic if the computer was selected by you through the Release licenses of drop-down menu, or Manual if it comes from the Managed computers tab. To exclude a computer from the list of computers whose licenses will be released, select the relevant checkbox and click Exclude.
The Options menu lets you search for specific computers, indicating the time when the protection was installed on them.
This tab displays the computers that you administer. If you want to add any of them to the list of affected computers, select the relevant checkbox and click Add and the computer will be moved to the list of affected computers. The Insertion column will display Manual.
If the licenses that are about to expire are licenses of Panda Cloud Office Protection for Windows/Linux, the window will display the computers with this operating systems only.

Finally, after the expiration date, as many computers as licenses have been released will be sent from the affected computers list to the blacklist.
