Subscribing to a License Expiration Alert
These instructions pertain to the license expiration alerts—Concurrent License Expiring and Activatable License Expiring.
To subscribe to a license expiration alert:
1. | From the Alerts tab, under Alerts, click Subscription to display the Alert Subscription page. |
2. | Click Subscribe/Edit for the alert to which you want to subscribe. This displays the Create/Edit Alert Subscription page. |
3. | Select the Inbox Notification check box to display alerts in your Alerts Inbox. |
4. | In the Email Notification section, set up between one and three email notifications for the alert. |
Email Notification Setting |
Description |
State |
Select the check box to enable email notification for the alert. |
Trigger time |
Specify a positive integer in the first field and select an interval from the list. The alert date is the time the alert condition began, and the trigger time is the time offset from the alert date when the alert email is triggered, but not necessarily sent. Email with a trigger delay is sent when the alert condition is next checked after the trigger time has passed, if the triggering alert has not been dismissed. If an email notification is set with a trigger time delay (for example, 1 hour) less than the detection interval (for example, 1 day), an email could be triggered by an alert condition on Monday, but not be sent until the alert is checked again on Tuesday (if the alert was not dismissed). Therefore, for clarity, set the trigger time delay to be a multiple of the Detection and Notification Interval. Tip:Set one handler to trigger immediately upon detection of the event and set trigger time delays only on additional email notifications. |
Send email to |
Email address to which you want to send this alert notification. Specify multiple email addresses in a comma-delimited list. |
5. | To set up additional email notifications, select the “Select to show additional email notifications” check box and complete the email notification settings described in the previous table. |
6. | In the Script Execution section—displayed for the Concurrent License Expiring alert—specify whether you want to execute a script when this alert is triggered. |
7. | Click Next to move to the next page of the subscription process. |
8. | Type the expiration days in the first field. For example, type 10 if you want to be notified when a license is within 10 days of expiration. This number will be used for all products/features that you specify in the following fields. You can modify the expiration days for individual products/features after they are added. |
9. | From the list on the left, select the vendor daemon for which you want to select products/features. Press the Ctrl key to select multiple vendor daemons. |
10. | Click the arrow button to display the vendor daemon’s products/features in the box on the right. |
11. | From the list of products, select the products for which you want to set the alert, and click Add. |
12. | Repeat steps 8 through 11 to add more products or features with different expiration days. |
