Section 1.4.2, "ZENworks Control Center Enhancements," on page 10

1.4.1 User-Based Licensing

Asset Management now includes support for user-based license models.
With user-based license models, licensed users are associated with devices, which are associated
with software product installations. A license is consumed only if a software product installation is
found on a device associated with the user. If multiple installations of the product are installed on
multiple devices associated with the user, a single license is consumed.
Two user-based license models are supported: Per-User and Per-Named User.
The Per-User license model covers all users except those you specifically exclude (excluded users).
Any user associated with a product installation consumes a license. Product installations associated
with excluded users are either covered by other license entitlements (if Per-Installation entitlements
exist that cover the same product) or reported as unresolved installations.
The Per-Named User license model covers only those users you specifically include (covered users).
Any covered user associated with a product installations consumes a license. Product installations
associated with non-covered users are either covered by other entitlements (if Per-Installation
Entitlements exist that cover the same product) or reported as unresolved installations.
