This article is referred to provide insights on the discontinuation of PDL conversions and the recommended licensing alternatives, as well as to explain the representation of usage count in the PDL UI Overview.

Discontinuation of PDL Conversions and Recommended Licensing Alternatives

In general, PDL conversions will no longer be accepted or approved. We recommend customers explore alternative licensing options, such as co-term or subscription licensing. Conversions to PDL require special approval from Licensing PM. Support Ops will not honor requests for conversion that do not contain PM approval.

Usage Count Representation in the PDL UI Overview

In the current implementation of the PDL UI (Aug 2022), the usage count in the Overview tab should reflect the number of seats enrolled in networks vs the number of seats assigned to a network or burning (orgwideEnrolledDevices / activeSeats).

Note that this percentage may be rounded up. For example: if a customer claims 255 licenses to their organization and assigns all those seats to a network but enrolls only 254 devices, this may present itself as "100% of SM seats used" (instead of 99.6%). In this example, the customer should still be able to successfully enroll one more device.
