Updated Free License Count for Preserved Users and Shared Mailbox
Overview
By default, Druva allocates free license for the following -
- Preserved Users - 10% of active license of a subscribed workload
- Shared Mailbox - 50% of active Microsoft 365 license
To know more about license utilization, see Active and Preserved License Consumption.
Moreover, Druva also enables you to purchase additional licenses for the above license types which are then added to your total license count.
Total license count = Free licenses + Purchased licenses
Issue
It was observed that the total number of free licenses credited to your account were miscalculated given the above percentage (%) of active licenses.
This resulted in incorrect utilization of free & purchased licenses.
Resolution
Druva has fixed the issue and it will be rolled out to AWS regions starting March 11, 2023 Cloud Upgrade. See Druva Cloud Upgrade Process.
If your account is affected with incorrect free license count, it will be automatically updated to reflect the correct free license count.
