novdocx (en) 7 January 2010
1.4.1 User-Based Licensing
Asset Management now includes support for user-based license models.
With user-based license models, licensed users are associated with devices, which are associated
with software product installations. A license is consumed only if a software product installation is
found on a device associated with the user. If multiple installations of the product are installed on
multiple devices associated with the user, a single license is consumed.
Two user-based license models are supported: Per-User and Per-Named User.
The Per-User license model covers all users except those you specifically exclude (excluded users).
Any user associated with a product installation consumes a license. Product installations associated
with excluded users are either covered by other license entitlements (if Per-Installation entitlements
exist that cover the same product) or reported as unresolved installations.
The Per-Named User license model covers only those users you specifically include (covered users).
Any covered user associated with a product installations consumes a license. Product installations
associated with non-covered users are either covered by other entitlements (if Per-Installation
Entitlements exist that cover the same product) or reported as unresolved installations.

To directly upgrade from version 10.2.x to 10.3:
1 Use System Update to update Primary Servers and managed devices to 10.3:
1a (Conditional) Update the Primary Server hosting the ZENworks internal database.
1b Update all other Primary Servers in the Management Zone (order doesn’t matter).
1c Update managed devices.
For more information about System Update, see “ZENworks System Updates” in the ZENworks 10
Configuration Management System Administration Reference.

IMPORTANT: After upgrading to ZENworks 10 Configuration Management SP3 (10.3), you
cannot install a ZENworks Primary Server from a previous version of ZENworks Configuration
Management in your SP3 Management Zone.
If you have any ZENworks 10 Configuration Management SP2 (10.2) Satellites with Imaging role in
the Management Zone, you must upgrade the Satellites to ZENworks 10 Configuration Management
SP3 (10.3) to successfully perform Imaging operations such as take an image or restore an image
from the Satellites. To upgrade the ZENworks 10 Configuration Management SP2 (10.2) Satellites
to ZENworks 10 Configuration Management SP3 (10.3), perform Step 1 on page 25.
