Deploy / Exchange Device Licenses

By default, the UMS checks once a day to determine if any devices require a new license, provided that UMS Administration > Global Configuration > Licenses > Deployment > Enable automatic deployment and UMS Administration > Global Configuration > Licenses > Deployment > Enable automatic license exchange are enabled.

You can use an administrative task to perform this check more often. This way, you can ensure that license renewals are carried out on time, even if individual license renewals did not work right away.

Menu path: UMS Administration > Administrative Tasks > Dialog Create Administrative Task > Action "Deploy / Exchange Device Licenses"
