Configuring Counts for Trusted Activation
If the entitlement line item contains a counted license model (trusted, server), you will be prompted to define a fulfill count for each server host. If the entitlement line item contains a
| • | retail license (uncounted) and you define multiple host IDs, then: |
| • | multiple licenses files are created, one for each host ID. |
| • | the Copies value for the entitlement line item decrements by the number of hosts you define. |
| • | server license (counted) and you define multiple host IDs, then: |
| • | multiple licenses files are created one for each host ID. |
| • | the Copies value for the entitlement line item decrements by the sum of the fulfillment counts for each server. |
Whether an upgrade, upsell, or renew entitlement line item, the available information and options in the Configure Counts page are the same.
Important:FlexNet Operations does not evaluate the count of available copies when an upgrade is created. Therefore it is possible to create an upgrade count that exceeds the number of available copies; however, the count is evaluated at fulfillment time. On fulfillment, upgrades that exceed the available count are rejected.
To configure counts for trusted activation:
| 1. | Review the prepopulated fields on the Configure Counts page. The number of data fields that are displayed vary depending on how the license model was defined. An important value in this list is: |
Total Remaining Copies: The number of copies in the entitlement line item that can be activated. This is the maximum number of licenses that the customer can fulfill against this entitlement line item, regardless of whether the fulfillment is a new or is an upgrade, upsell, or renew of another product.

Available Copies |
This is the number of copies in the entitlement line item that can be fulfilled as a new activation. It does not include the number of copies that are available as an upgrade to another product. This does not include Extra Activations. |
|
Extra Activations Available |
This number is the set when you define the License Model. This is the number of extra copies of the product (beyond what they have purchased) that they can activate. |
|
Pending Copies |
If you have defined multiple server host IDs, this value is the number of copies that have already been assigned to the other Hosts IDs in this activation action. |
|
This is the total number of licenses you want to fulfill for this server host ID. Specify a fulfill count for each of the fulfillments you are generating. |
|
|
Remaining Overdraft |
This is the number of remaining unused Overdraft Licenses. |
|
Overdraft |
Enter the number of Overdraft licenses you want to allow for this server host ID. |
| 2. | Finish specifying the Configure Counts properties for the current host. |
| 3. | Click Next to go to the Generate Licenses - Review page. |
Note:When the activation includes multiple hosts, an arrow in the Hosts list indicates the current host. Clicking Next on the Configure Counts page moves to the next host. When counts are configured for the last host, clicking Next moves you to the Review step.
| 4. | To generate a license, click Generate on the Review page. One response/license is generated per host. |
On the Generated Licenses page, you can choose to Save to File or Print one or more licenses.
