Impact on the domain when licenses are out of compliance

The BlackBerry Licensing Service tracks the use of server licenses and detects when a license type is out of compliance. A license type is out of compliance if the number of licenses in use is greater than the number of valid, non-expired licenses (for example, all licenses are in use and then some expire).

BlackBerry Management Studio indicates if the usage of licenses exceeds the number of valid licenses.
