{% hint style="info" %}
This only applies to systems that concurrent licensing.
{% endhint %}

When all the unrestricted licenses have been used, the corralled licenses will be reserved for the specified subgroup of Analysts.

For example, if your organization has many analysts using ASM Core but you have a service desk in which at least two Analysts must always have access. With corralled licenses it is possible to reserve two licenses to be shared amongst the service desk only.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Corralled licenses do not restrict Analysts named in that corral when there are other licenses still available. They are only reserved when the remaining general licenses have been used.

<table><thead><tr><th width="243">Maximum Concurrent Licenses</th><th>The total number of concurrent licenses available for your system. This is a read only field</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Default</td><td><p>The current number of licenses assigned to the default corral. This is a read only field and the value will dynamically increase and decrease depending on the number of licenses allocated to non-default corrals.</p><p>When the sum of the licenses assigned to all Analyst-defined corrals matches the maximum number of concurrent licenses available for the system, the following warning message appears on this window:</p><p>This means, any Analysts that belong to the <strong>Default</strong> corral will be unable to login to the system.</p><p>The number displayed will be based on your system’s configuration.</p></td></tr></tbody></table>

Beneath this there is a browse table listing the existing corrals.

1. Select the New icon.
2. Complete the details:

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th width="240"></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Corral</td><td>The name or description of the new license corral you want to define. This will appear in the License Corral drop down in the Person Details.</td></tr><tr><td>Allocated</td><td>The number of licenses you want to assign to the defined license corral</td></tr><tr><td>Corral Timeout</td><td><p>Select to specify a period after which inactive sessions within the corral will be timed out.</p><p>If you do not specify a corral timeout, the default session timeout defined in the Server Console will be used.</p></td></tr><tr><td>Timeout Period (hh:mm)</td><td>The timeout period in hours and minutes</td></tr></tbody></table>
