Setting up Automatic License Deployment (ALD)

Overview

You can configure the UMS to automatically assign licenses to devices. When Automatic License Deployment (ALD) is configured, and the UMS finds a device that needs a license, it fetches a license from the Licensing Service (ILS) and deploys it to the device automatically. The license is derived from a Product Pack; you can monitor the current license consumption using the License Portal (ILP). 

The typical use cases are as follows:

• Assigning licenses from an Workspace Edition (WE) Product Pack to new devices while registering the devices to the UMS 
• Renewing licenses from an Workspace Edition (WE) Product Pack
• Assigning licenses from an Enterprise Management Pack (EMP) to a selection of devices
• Renewing licenses from an Enterprise Management Pack (EMP)
