4.2 About Workload License Consumption

Your PlateSpin Forge product license entitles you to a specific or unlimited number of workloads for protection through workload licensing. Every time you add a workload for protection, the system consumes a single workload license from your license pool. You can recover a consumed license, if you remove a workload, up to a maximum of five times.

On the Dashboard page of the PlateSpin Forge Web Interface, the License Summary displays the current count of installed and consumed licenses.

The Licenses page (Settings > Licenses) lists each installed license with its current counts for consumed workload licenses and the remaining reassignments available for those licenses. The page also shows the total number of remaining unused workload licenses for the PlateSpin Server.
