Statement
Manage TE Licenses: one Patch Management licence is consumed per asset; the Total Consumption counter exceeds 100% when more assets are activated than licences held, and licences are then consumed in ascending order of activation time stamp. Isolation licences, by contrast, map 1:1 to activations and cannot exceed the limit. (page last updated September 2026; as published on 2026-09-27)
