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.
