License Corrals

Corralling allows you to reserve a subgroup of licenses for specific group members, to ensure that they can log in, even if all of the other available licenses are in use.

This only applies to systems that concurrent licensing.

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.

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.
