The following Licence Types describe the licences generally available from Altiris. For all Licence Types, software designated as for 'clients' may not be used to manage or audit a Server. 'Server' means a computing device whose primary function is to provide services to another computing device (e.g., domain services, printing services, email services, terminal services, application services, file services, web hosting, etc.).

Node Licence
Under the terms of a node licence, a customer may use the software to manage an aggregate number of nodes within its organisation not to exceed the sum of the customer's licenced nodal count. A 'node' is any asset under management by the software. An asset is: (a) a physical device such as a computer, PDA, or server, (b) a virtual device, such as an operating environment that may be running concurrently with another operating environment on a single physical device (e.g., VMware*, Virtual PC*, Virtual Server*), or (c) an object stored by the Software in a database, such object representing a physical or virtual asset for which data is being tracked or managed by the Software (e.g., printer, copier, etc.).

A node licence will be deemed consumed for a particular software product once an asset (as defined above) has been managed by a particular software product. An asset has been managed by a particular software product once the software product has (i) been run locally on an asset, (ii) remotely interacted with and/or received a response from an asset, (iii) configured or changed a setting of or migrated settings to or from an asset, or (iv) otherwise performed any management functionality that such particular software product has been designed to perform with respect to an asset. A customer must purchase a sufficient number of node licences to cover all node licences consumed by a particular software product.

Concurrent User Licence
Under the terms of a concurrent user licence, a customer may distribute and install internally within its organisation an unrestricted number of copies of the software, provided the number of users accessing or using the software simultaneously does not exceed the customer's licenced user count. Individuals solely using the 'My Helpdesk Console' or any 'self-help' functionality in the software shall not count against the customer's licenced user count.

Per User Licence
Under the terms of a per user licence, a customer may distribute and install internally within its organisation the number of copies of the software that directly correspond to the number of authorised users of the software, regardless of whether such users use or access the software (i) simultaneously or sequentially, or (ii) on or through a network.

Connector Licence
Under the terms of a connector licence, a customer may distribute and install internally within its organisation an unrestricted number of copies of the software.
