Standard License Allocation

This topic describes how agents using standard licenses are allocated automatically and manually, called subscribing. The allocation is different for Single-Use Virtual Machine Licenses.

The Coordinator automatically allocates the licenses in it's license file to connected agents based on the number of cores. When an agent has licenses, it is considered subscribed. Only subscribed Agents can initiate and participate in workloads.

You can also manually unsubscribe, and subscribe individual Agents in the Coordinator Monitor.

Manually Subscribing / Unsubscribing Agents

1. Go to Management Console > Coordinator Monitor.

2. Click the button in the Action column next to an individual Agent.

   

3. Select Subscribe or Unsubscribe.

   

4. When subscribing, you also need to select the type of cores (Agent or Server) you wish to allocate to this Agent.

5. When subscribing, you also need to select the number of licenses you wish to allocate to the Agent. The default value of -1 means that the number of licenses that will be allocated will match the number of cores detected on this machine, if enough licenses are available.
