How do we assign large number of licenses to our devices in Nebula Control Center?

In the past, we need to assign license one by one and it may take too much time if there are hundreds of licenses. With so many licenses to manage, it is also possible that some licenses may be assigned to wrong devices.

Now Nebula release Smart License Assignment to simplify the whole process.

 

Here is the whole process:

• One license per device:
  

  NCC assigns one of each license type with shortest duration to each devices.
  Below is the scenario:
  
  

  We have assigned these licenses in our organization and these licenses are inactive and unassigned:
  1-month Pro license x10
  1-year Pro license x10
  
  Here is our devices in our organization without licenses:
  GS2220-50HP x1
  WAC6303D-S x1
  WAC5302D-Sv2 x1
  
  If we choose One license per device to assign licenses, NCC will assign the minimum period licenses to devices.
  
  Here is the assignment result:
  GS2220-50HP ---- 1-month Pro license x1
  WAC6303D-S ----- 1-month Pro license x1
  WAC5302D-Sv2 ---- 1-month Pro license x1

• Target Expiration date:
  
  User selects a future date and NCC will assign an equal number of licenses to each devices until expiration date is over user defined date.
  Below is the scenario:
  
  We have assigned these licenses in our organization and these licenses are inactive and unassigned:
  
  1-month Pro license x10
  1-year Pro license x10
  
  Here is our devices in our organization without licenses:
  GS2220-50HP x1
  WAC6303D-S x1
  WAC5302D-Sv2 x1
  
  If we want licenses to expire on 2022/9/1(assume the assignment date is 2021/8/25), we can choose target expiration date with 2022/9/1. NCC will auto assign the licenses to devices near the expiration date.
  
  Here is the assignment result:
  GS2220-50HP ---- 1-month Pro licenses x1 & 1-year Pro licenses x1
  WAC6303D-S ---- 1-month Pro licenses x1 & 1-year Pro licenses x1
  WAC5302D-Sv2 ---- 1-month Pro licenses x1 & 1-year Pro licenses x1
  
  
• Customer Assignment:
  User manually assign which license should add to which device.

Notice: 
1. Warning message might appear if there are insufficient license to reach target date.
