Definition
Device Count Exceeded: "The number of devices (listed under the Devices tab) in your PaperCut MF admin interface plays a large part of PaperCut MF licensing." MF licensing "is based only on the number of print devices you have in your organization" (Purchasing FAQ).
Counting rules
Each device with the PaperCut embedded application claims one entitlement; deleting a device or setting it to Disabled indefinitely (Release entitlement) frees it. Subscription entitlements are brand-neutral and grouped as MFD (Full embedded) or SFP (Lite embedded); perpetual licences remain brand-specific, with License Exchange Fees when brands change. From 24.0 entitlements are shared across all Application Servers on one CRN.
