Creating Licenses from Filesets

Use license tracking from a Fileset when you want FileWave to count where a deployed application appears and alert you when usage exceeds the license watermark you set. FileWave Client inventory can scan managed computers for files that match the Fileset definition, and FileWave Central License Management can use that definition as the tracking criteria.

For example, if you deploy a trial application to a small pilot group, you can create a license from that application Fileset and watch for copies outside the expected device count.

You do not need to recreate the application criteria by hand. The Fileset definition becomes the basis for the license, and FileWave reports when that package appears on more devices than the configured license count.
