Adding and editing product family activation limits

About product family activation limits

Each license version of product family may have a limit on the quantity that can be installed on any given machine or registration certificate. This limit is most commonly used for hardware-related products limited by the number of ports on the machine.

For example, if a machine can only support a quantity of 400 of a messaging system, and three products belong to the messaging family, then if 300 of messaging product 1 is installed, then when a user installs messaging product 2, they can only install up to 100.
