Definition
Asset Definition and QLU Calculation (Patch Management): "QLU usage for Patch Management (PM) is based on the total number of agents activated for any of the following features: Patch Management (PM) Isolation (ISL) Mitigation (MTG)"
Counting rules
Each activated agent counts once, even when idle. In the Patch Management Licenses tab, one license is consumed per asset; if activations exceed purchased licences the counter exceeds 100% and licences are consumed in ascending order of activation time stamp (Manage TE Licenses). Isolation licences map 1:1 to activations and cannot exceed the limit (Viewing Isolation Licenses). TruRisk Eliminate counts the highest asset count across PM, ISL and MTG.
Floors / minimums
