Core Limits

IT Asset Management (Cloud)

This section displays the ratios of core counts per processor and per host specified in your Microsoft Server/Management Core license agreements.

Tip: If your inventory source does not return the number of cores (or processors) for an inventory device, navigate to the inventory device properties, select the Hardware tab, and against the Cores value, click the Override control and enter your new value. If need be, do the same for the count of processors in the device, since this is critical for the calculation of cores per processor.

Controls
