Expiry Date: The date the software licence will expire, to the nearest second. 

Licence Modules

Module: The name of the licence module.

Licence Count: This is the total number of licences available for this module.

Current Count: This is the total number of licences being consumed by system at this point in time. This value cannot exceed the Licence Count. No more licences will be issued once the limit is reached.

Expiry Date: If present, this date indicates when the module licence will expire. This will appear against items which can be renewed, for example system maintenance, and also modules which are being evaluated for a period of time.

Days Left: If a module has an Expiry Date then this indicates the number of days left before the licence expires.

Encoded Data: This indicates if the module has additional licence information recorded with it. This is used for storing tracker licences when using the central licencing option.
