3.2 Relationship between device status and product license

If a discovered device is added as a management target or if a managed device is excluded from management, the number of used product licenses changes. The following table describes the device statuses and whether a product license is required.

Device status

Product license

Description

Discovered

No

The device is discovered by the network search or network monitoring function.

Managed

Yes

The device is to be managed as a target of device management, security control, and asset management. The managed device is subject to operations performed from the management server and report display.

Ignored

No

The device is excluded from the management. Any device that does not need to be managed must be in the Ignored status.

Legend: Yes: Used, No: Not used

To add a device as a management target of JP1/IT Desktop Management 2, set the device status to Managed. If you set the device status to Managed, a product license is used. A device whose status is Discovered or Ignored does not use a product license. If you change the status of a device from Managed to Ignored, the product license used for that device can be used for another device.
