License Details Page, Total Nodes in License for Orion Platform doesn't add up...

On the License Details page in Orion, does anyone know how the license tally's up for the Total Nodes in License section for the Orion Platform specifically? Mine says 4,028 total nodes in license for Orion, but I only have a NPM 100 license. I do have many modules installed, but most modules don't work on a node based licensing scheme, and I can assure you I have nowhere near 4,028 nodes being monitored, this is a relatively small lab setup.

If anyone knows how the numbers are added up to make this total please let me know! Thanks.

As I suspected... So 'nodes' at a high level are additive. Most product modules include some number of node entitlements with their license. In your case..

NCM: 50

SAM: 300

NPM: 100

IPAM: 1024

LA: 10

SCM: 10

Toolset: 10

UDT: 2500

VMAN: 8

VNQM: 5

So the maximum total number of 'nodes' you are entitled to monitor is 4028.

Can you provide screenshot of your license details page and/or the license management page? At a minimum, without knowing what modules you have installed, and what license sizes of each, it's difficult to say for certain.

Sure thing, thanks for jumping in @aLTeReGo!

If screenshots aren't clear enough I can break down the licensing better for you in text, just let me know!

Thanks @aLTeReGo. That does make sense, just seems strange that some modules add node counts and others don't. i.e., SRM didn't seem to add any nodes to the Orion node count, and it looks like VNQM adds it's node count based on sites and not IP phones. It looks like WPM didn't add any either.

Do you know if there is any official documentation that shows which module adds what counts? It's my understanding that some of these modules also add volumes to the overall Orion volume count and other don't.
