Named License Pool Terminology
Name	Definition
License Pool	When no named license pools have been defined, “license pool” means the license estate from which the license server serves licenses to its client devices. In setups where named license pools have been defined, the term “license pool” is used to refer to a nondescript license pool, that is, it can refer to a default license pool and/or named license pool.
Default License Pool	Every server has a default license pool which cannot be deleted. If no named license pools have been defined, the default license pool holds all licenses on the server. If one or more named license pools have been defined, the default license pool holds any licenses that have not been allocated to a named license pool.
Named License Pool	A pool that holds any licenses that have been allocated to it by rules of access. A named license pool is separate from the default license pool.
Model Definition	The model definition specifies the license pools and the rules of access that define how licenses are allocated to license pools (named or default).
Rules of Access	Rules of access define the criteria that allow or block certain client devices or users from obtaining licenses from specified license pools (named or default).
Conditions	Criteria used in rules of access that allocate licenses to license pools (named or default).
