Full Support License Pools

Configure license pools to reflect the structure of your support organization and ensure that each pool has the exact number of licenses to which it is entitled. The table shows the number of reserved licenses and the maximum number of licenses allowed for each pool, along with the number of users who are assigned to this pool. Note that this number does not reflect users assigned via group policy or invited representatives.

Active license packs are included in the count of full support licenses; however, they cannot be assigned to license pools.

Use the following pool for all invited reps

When a representative sends a rep invite to an external representative, the invited representative should consume a license from the specified pool. If this is set to None, then the license used will be drawn from the unreserved licenses.
