License capacity notifications
You can configure License Vault to notify you when it starts running out of licenses. To do so, go to your License Vault, open the Settings tab, and scroll down to the Notifications section.
Notification types
You can choose to enable three types of notifications:
- You're running out of prepaid licenses
You'll get notified when most of your prepaid licenses for a product are allocated and only a few remain available for new users.
By default, we'll notify you when 90% of the licenses are in use. You can configure a different threshold in the Notification settings.
- All prepaid licenses are in use
You'll get notified when all licenses for a product are in use. Depending on your usage plan and settings, this might mean that new users won't be able to activate their products via License Vault or that postpaid licenses will be allocated to them instead.
- Postpaid licenses have been allocated
This notification will come in useful if you have postpaid IDE licensing enabled for any of the products in your License Vault. You'll be notified when the first postpaid license is allocated for a product, which means you should expect a postpaid IDE licensing charge at the end of the billing period.
Notification settings
Who receives the notifications
If enabled, the notifications are sent daily to all License Vault administrators, regardless of which administrator enabled them. If you disable a notification, all administrators stop receiving it.
Which products you'll be notified about
License Vault monitors the number of available licenses independently for each product.
For each notification, you can choose to be notified about all products in your License Vault or just some of them. To select the products you'll be notified about, click Configure next to the notification you'd like to receive. Click Selected products and then enter one or more product names in the box underneath.
For the You're running out of prepaid licenses notification, you can additionally change the usage threshold to be notified about. The same threshold applies to all selected products.
