When Clients Return or Renew Counts to the Server

When there have been no changes to the model definition or to the licenses held by the server, licenses returned by clients are returned to the original slice from which they were acquired.

However, in scenarios where clients were holding usage prior to a model change or a change to the licenses held by the server, counts returned by clients may need to be redistributed to reflect the new state of the server.

The following sections describe more about feature count redistribution:

•

Basic Redistribution Rules

•

Order of Redistributing Counts

In these sections, slices in deficit refers to slices that have fewer counts than they should have, according to the model definition and the number of counts the server has been provisioned with ( "slice" < "computedCount").
