- Definition
- Endpoint Security Licenses (R81.20): a licence is needed for "Every Endpoint Security client. The license is per-seat." On terminal servers the cloud-managed guide states: "Licensing is per user. Each user is counted as a seat (using existing SKUs)."
- Counting rules
- Each client takes its Container and component licences from a pool on the Endpoint Security Management Server; licences of different types can be combined, and a client with mixed licences in the pool receives a random one. Resetting or deleting a client returns its licence to the pool. Validation happens on client SYNC or heartbeat messages. On Terminal Server / Remote Desktop Services hosts every user counts as a seat.
