This article describes the cases when a license is acquired from ManageEngine License Server

Description

There are two cases when licenses are acquired from ManageEngine License Server:

• Installation of ManageEngine OS Deployer Management Agent
• First deployment to a computer.

You can deploy any amount of images any number of times to one computer that has one license assigned to it. Once one license is assigned to one computer, it will not need new licenses for successful deployment.

License is assigned to MAC address of the corresponding NIC of a computer. Hence if the NIC is replaced in a computer, it will need a new license to work with ManageEngine OS Deployer Management Agent or to perform deployment.
