Automatically reinstate revoked licenses of users

Licenses are a costly affair. Administrators should know the tips and tricks of easy and cost-effective license management. It is a common practice to revoke the licenses of:

• Inactive users
• Locked out users
• Password expired users, and other users who are not using the product for an extended period.

While we take proper steps to curb the unwanted license consumption, we must also ensure that the licenses are reinstated promptly. Most the products provide ways to restrict license usage but they do not concentrate on the ways to reinstate the licenses.

ADSelfService Plus not only provides ways to reinstate licenses but also has provisions to automate the process. This eases the task of license management even more.

Steps to reinstate revoked licenses automatically

• Login to ADSelfService Plus admin portal.
• Go to Admin tab.
• Select License Management → Restrict Users in the left pane.
• Select Schedule to Restrict/Unrestrict at the top-right corner.

  

• Go to the Unrestrict tab in the section that appears.
• Select the Domain you want to set up auto reinstation.
• Select Enable scheduler to unrestrict users.
• Select the types of users to be unrestricted.
• Click Save.
