Licensing Behavior

  • After licenses are acquired, all license allocations are managed in the ZDNA system.
  • Devices not connected at the time a license action is executed are updated the next time they come online.
  • If a device was licensed in ZDNA as a part of a group, disassociating the device from that group automatically reclaims the license and returns it to the pool of available licenses.
  • Removing a Group from the License Allocation screen automatically reclaims licenses from all devices in that Group and returns them to the pool.
  • License actions are executed immediately upon exiting the ZDNA Licensing section.
