License Management Enhancements

The following enhancements for the management of licenses were added in the 2024 R1 release.

Skipping Confirmation Capability Request for Reducing Licenses for Specified Product Lines

A new option Skip Confirmation for Product Line (under System > Configure > Embedded Devices > License Generation) has been introduced which controls whether producers are allowed to reduce the number of copies of a license for certain product lines without requiring a confirmation capability request.

Producers specify the product lines for which licenses can be reduced without requiring a confirmation in the Skip Confirmation column on the Package Products | Product Lines page (available under Products > Product Lines).

The option Skip Confirmation for Product Line complements the existing Skip Confirmation configuration option, which applies to all devices or entitlements mapped to devices. By contrast, Skip Confirmation for Product Line lets producers select specific products that require or do not require a confirmation when reducing licenses.

By default, the option Skip Confirmation for Product Line is disabled (reducing the number of licenses for specific product lines requires a confirmation capability request, as in previous releases).
