Setting Up Automatic License Release

Overview​

If one or more licensed Workstations have been permanently decommissioned, you can release and reassign their licenses. Endpoint Protector automatically reassigns released licenses to other active Workstations.

The Automatic License Release feature releases licenses from decommissioned Workstations that have not been online for a defined number of days (e.g., 30 to 360 days). This feature is not intended for frequent repeated reassignment of licenses among ephemeral or non-persistent virtual desktops, pooled sessions, or other temporary compute instances.

If you operate a non-persistent VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) environment, contact Netwrix to ensure your deployment and licensing model align with product use requirements.
