- Definition
- BMC Helix Discovery: "the customer pays an amount for a license to model up to a set number of unique server OSIs (Operating System Instances); effectively, this means hosts."
- Counting rules
- Licensing is based on the lifetime of a Host averaged over the days in the month. A host found by several scanners, or by a scanner and a consolidator, uses one licence. Network devices, printers and other network-connected devices do not count; desktop OSIs are not discovered by default and do not count. The general UOM definition of "per asset" covers Server, Client, Device and Other Endpoints and treats each virtual machine as a server endpoint.
- Floors / minimums
- No limit on the number of appliances; storage add-on must match the base licence count one-to-one.
