    • Available and used Assess (application) licenses, as well as how many applications are unlicensed.

    • Available and used Protect (server) licenses as well as how many servers are unlicensed.

  2. If allowed at a system level, you can also choose to automatically apply licenses to new applications or servers. For Protect, you can also choose the environments for which this applies.
