Auto-Increment/Auto adjust:

Suppose auto-increment is 'On' for a contract, and Zluri detects more licenses through the API. In that case, It will automatically create a group with an extra number of licenses starting from the current date.

Suppose that case, If auto adjust is 'On' for a subscription, the license quantity will increase or decrease based on the number of licenses detected from the API always to match the total number of licenses. if

Keeping auto-increment/auto-adjust off will not capture the fluctuations in the licenses. However, users can manually adjust the number of licenses.

Cost Calculation:

Pro-rata: cost is calculated only for the duration for which the additional quantity is added

Months: irrespective of the number of days used in a month, the cost is calculated for the entire month

Quarters: irrespective of the number of days used in a quarter, the cost is calculated for the entire quarter

Years: irrespective of the number of days used in a year, the cost is calculated for the entire year

Licence Tab:

The licence tab now shows only the active groups/entities of a particular license. Also, the cost of only the active license group/entity is attributed.

Both groups' average cost/license and sum of quantities are shown when multiple licences are active.

.

E.g., One license has two entities, one from 1st Jan to 1st Aug and the other from 1st Aug to 31st Dec; then, based on the date, one of the two entities would be active. On 28th Sept, the second group/entity would be active.
