Environment
Novell ZENworks 10 Configuration Management with Support Pack 1 - 10.1 Inventory
Situation
How are processor based licenses calculated in ZCM asset inventory?
Resolution
The CPU license model is currently supported as "Consumption Data Source: Manual". Any license consumption needs to be entered manually (via Entitlement detail/Quantity Consumed).
Additional Information
Per-installation, OEM, and Machine are the only license models that are "Consumption Data Source: Inventory", meaning license consumption is calculated automatically from inventory data.
