How to check amount of needed licenses
Hey guys,
I have some general questions about EV licensing and I want to check how many licenses I would need at the moment.
We are running EV 10.0.4 with FSA and MBX Archiving. Both is licensed per user.
So if I run "Run licensing and Usage Summary Report" I can only see FSA usage and additional extensions.
But if I change the license type to "Per User licensed" the report does not change at all. It still shows the used TB.
Is that something the CU3 could improve?
Than I need to know, what exactly has to be licensed? All archives or only archives with an active user? So a user leaves the company, his AD object will deleted sometime, his archives stay. Do they need a license?
Leading to my question, what is the best way to check the needed amount of licenses for FSA and MBX Archiving?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Chris
