How does license enforcement work for FlexNet Manager for SAP?
There is a license check in FlexNet Manager for SAP when a customer exceeds their entitlement. It’s based on the number of consolidated users declared in the license term. When that number is exceeded in Consumed (Current) on the License Position page, there is a warning message that is shown. No functionality is blocked but no further import of users happens after that point.
