Note:

  • Only active business users from the production system will consume a license type in ByD and will be considered for the Billing Cycle.
  • Counted User check box is for customer reference to know the overview of license type assignments and the active users in the production system.
  • Adding User Subscription for a user will reflect these details in the User Subscription view in the Service Control Center work center in which you will be able to see the license types, traffic signals, license type usages and users assigned to a license type.
