About Disposing Of Licenses; Configuring Advanced License Portal Settings; Managing Registered Machines - Dell PowerVault DL4000 User Manual

Users pay for only the licenses that are used. For example, if the license pool for the group is 50 licenses and only three
are in use, they are only billed for the three licenses in use. Bills are generated on the first day of each month for the
previous month.
Enterprise licenses are counted in the same manner; however, because they are licenses in perpetuity, monthly billing
does not occur.

About Disposing Of Licenses

You can choose to dispose of a license by either deactivating or uninstalling the AppAssure 5 application. Whether you
choose to dispose of or uninstall the AppAssure 5 application, the actual disposition occurs at the beginning of the next
month.
