Creating License Rules

When creating license rules, you should follow consistent criteria for selecting which applications belong to a rule.

We recommend the following:

• If you want a rule to contain multiple applications, then group applications by business unit.
• If you want to view individual application usage, then select only one application per rule.

Deleting a default license rule

Splunk AppDynamics does not recommend deleting default license rules. Instead, we recommend changing all of the license entitlements to 0. If you do delete a default rule, keep these in mind:

• If there is only one license rule (for example, the default), deleting it will take the License Management UI back to a state when license rules never existed.
• Deleting a license rule will not impact existing agents because they will start reporting using the account-level access key.
• If you have multiple license rules (one default and multiple custom) and you delete the default rule, you will not be able to recreate it until you delete all other rules.
• Click Create Rules to create a new default rule. The access key will be different and you will also need to re-configure your agents.

Deleting a custom license rule

• Deleting and recreating a custom license rule will not retrieve the old access key, even if you use the same name, since access keys are generated dynamically at runtime.
