Novell ZENWORKS 10 CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT SP3 - REFERENCE 10.3 30-03-2010 Reference Manual page 24

For example, if you purchase 10 licenses of the base product and then purchase 6 licenses of the
upgrade product, you are entitled to 4 installations of the base product and 6 installations of the
upgrade product. The total number of installations (10) you are entitled to remains the same.
To account for version upgrades, Asset Management provides a type of entitlement called a Version
Upgrade. With a Version Upgrade entitlement, you specify a base entitlement for the upgrade. The
following applies to the base entitlement:
It must belong to the same licensed product as the upgrade entitlement. In other words, you
can't create an Upgrade Version entitlement in LicensedProduct1 and use a base entitlement
from LicensedProduct2.
It can be any of the three entitlement types: Full License, License/Maintenance, or Version
Upgrade. This supports upgrades of upgrades.
It can support multiple Version Upgrade entitlements. For example, EntitlementA can be the
base entitlement for VersionUpgradeEntitlement1 and VersionUpgradeEntitlement2.
When a licensed product contains a Version Upgrade entitlement, the Software Compliance Engine
calculates the available license quantity for the Version Upgrade entitlement and subtracts that
license quantity from the base entitlement.
