Software Metering

Software Metering


Software Metering feature is available only for Endpoint Central licensed customers. Software Metering enables you to establish a rule and classify software based on its usage from Endpoint Central's scan data. The software can be categorized as Rarely, Occasionally, or Frequently Used depending on rules set for Run Time, Run Count, or a combination of both.

Role Required: SDAdmin

To configure a new software metering,
  1. Go to Admin > Software  > Software Metering.
  2. Click New.
  3. Provide a name for the configuration.
  4. Select the software from the drop-down to which the metering configuration must apply.
  5. Configure usage thresholds based on either or both of the following:
  6. Run Time: Select the checkbox and provide threshold values for the Rarely Used and Frequently Used classifications. For the Occasionally Used classification, provide a range.
  7. Run Count: Select the checkbox and provide threshold values for the Rarely Used and Frequently Used classifications. For the Occasionally Used classification, provide a range.
  8. Finally, click Save or Save and Add New.

To edit or delete a software metering configuration, click in the configuration list view and select Edit.
When choosing Run Time and Run Count, you can use the AND or OR operator.

Software metering is only available for apps with metering enabled in Endpoint Central. 

The All Software metering configuration cannot be deleted and will apply for applications that are not part of any software metering configuration. The name and list of software in this configuration cannot be altered, but threshold and range values can be adjusted.
