Points Rule Sets

The Points Rule Sets page allows you to manage available points rule sets. (For background information, see What Are Points Rule Sets?)

Points rule sets are displayed here if you created them, or if they have been linked to any license. Those points rule sets that are available in the Application Recognition Library, but not yet used in any of your licenses, are not listed here. (Those are available when you search for a points rule set to link to a license, from within the license properties.)

On the Points Rule Sets page, you can perform the following actions.

Points Rule Sets Properties

Property	Description
License type	The kind of software license to which this points rule set may be applied. In general, each points rule may apply only to the one type of license (although you may link one rule set to as many licenses of the same type as you like). One exception is that the Oracle Processor points rule set may be used with both Oracle Processor licenses and Oracle Named User Plus licenses. Tip:License types may be displayed in this list for which you need the FlexNet Manager for Datacenters option. Although you can see such items here, you can only create the matching license when the corresponding option is licensed.
Licenses	The count of licenses currently sharing this points rule set. You can identify which licenses these are by double-clicking the row, and checking the Licenses tab on the properties for this points rule set. It is best practice to make sure that this count is zero before you delete a points rule set.
Points rule set name	A distinctive and descriptive title for the points rule set. Editable in the General tab of the points rule set properties.
Source	Whether the points rule set is factory-supplied, or extended within your enterprise, or fully created within your enterprise.
