3.1 Overview of product licenses
JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 uses the node count license method to manage the number of used licenses. This method uses one license for a managed device regardless of the type of the device. This means that as many devices as the number of licenses registered on JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 can be managed. Note that licenses are used for device management only, and not used for asset management.
Use the product edition license key file, which is provided when JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 is purchased, to register a license. If the number of used licenses matches the number of registered licenses, no more devices can be added. Therefore, register a sufficient number of licenses in advance.
If you want to manage more devices than you have registered licenses for, you need to add licenses. To add a product license, purchase a license and then register it.
When automatic registration during a search adds more management targets than there are licenses for, the devices are handled as discovered devices. Although the discovered devices are displayed in the view displayed by selecting Discovery, and then Discovered Nodes in the Settings module, they are not management targets (no licenses are used). If a managed device is changed to an exclusion target or is deleted, the number of used licenses changes.

-
In a multi-boot environment, each OS is handled as a different device because information reported to the management server differs depending on the OS.
