What kind of devices do I pay licenses for?

Rules for the licenses:

• Every device with an IP address (including virtual machines) counts as one device
• Devices with multiple IP addresses (e.g. routers) count as one device
• Management boards for servers count as separate devices
• For virtual machines the respective OS counts

However, there are some exceptions to those rules:

• Devices that are not identified do not count for the license (Unidentified devices, unknown SNMP devices)
• Devices without an IP address (local printers, monitors, etc.)

JDisc Discovery’s device type filter can already exclude those devices that are not relevant for the licensing at the start. This saves you license cost, discovery time and network bandwidth!
