Measures reported by BBLicenseTest
CAL (Client access license) keys control how many user accounts can exist on a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server at the same time. To ensure the continued use of the BlackBerry infrastructure, adequate licenses or CAL keys need to be available on BES. This test monitors the license usage on BES, and reveals if more licenses are required.
The measures
made by this test are as
follows:
| Measurement |
Description |
Measurement
Unit |
Interpretation |
| Licenses_installed |
Indicates the number of license keys installed on BES, currently.
|
Number |
|
| Licenses_remaining |
Indicates the number of licenses currently in use on the BES.
|
Number |
Ideally, the value of this measure should be high. A zero value or a value close to zero indicates that the BlackBerry Enterprise server has exhausted all installed CAL keys, or is excessively consuming CAL keys (as the case may be).
When you exceed the number of licensed user accounts, the BlackBerry Manager informs you that you require more CAL keys. You will not be able to continue using BES until additional CAL keys are installed on BES.
|
| Licenses_used |
Indicates the number of licenses yet to be used.
|
Number |
|
| Licenses_over_used |
Indicates the number of licenses used over and above the installed licenses. |
Number |
This measure will appear only if the sum of the value of the Licenses in use currently and the Licenses remaining for use measures is greater than the value of the Licenses installed measure. In other words, this measure will appear only if the total license usage is greater than the number of licenses that are installed. If not, this measure will not appear.
If the measure appears, it is indicative of excessive license usage. |
