When the agent is installed on one computer, one license of Adaptive Defense 360 for Windows/Linux/Android or Adaptive Defense 360 for OS X will be subtracted from the total number of available licenses.
When a computer is removed from the list of protected computers, one license of Adaptive Defense 360 for Windows/Linux/Android or Adaptive Defense 360 for OS X will automatically be added to the total number of available licenses, depending on the operating system of the computer you remove.
When due to expiry the number of contracted licenses is reduced by ‘X’, the status will change to Without a license for as many Windows/Linux/Android or OS X computers and devices as licenses have expired.
Where the number of contracted licenses is less than the number of computers to protect, this difference will be included in the Without a license tab.
These computers will compete for any spare licenses that appear, as explained in the section Contracting and renewing licenses.
To prevent a computer without a license from competing for newly contracted licenses, you have to delete them from the console. To do this, go to the Without a license tab in the Computers screen, select the computers and click Delete selected computers.
If you want to release a license from a computer with a valid license, you have to exclude the computer. The license will then be released and assigned to a computer in the Without license list.
You cannot just delete a computer with licenses, as the next time it communicates with the Adaptive Defense 360 server, it will be assigned a license once again.
