    Please disregard question below, I understand how licensing works but it doesn't make sense to me why is that CCU is lower than User Session even we know that:

     

    1user = 1 session license but this 1 user can consume 2 or more CCU due to resources like (Portal,Webtoplink, Network Access, AppTunnel etc.)

    My question is how CCU licensing works is it:

     

    1 CCU per Portal Access means (1 for portal1.com + 1 for portal2.com ) or 1 for all (portal1.com and portal2.com)?

    If you have 2 assigned Portal resources to 1 user, 1 CCU will be consumed.

     

    If any part of that operations guide is confusing, please let us know what part and we'll work to get it clarified. We do updates to the Ops Guide about every quarter as it's not "official documentation tied to a specific release", so we have more leeway in updates.

     

  • as far as i understand it one user will consume one CCU if a CCU is applicable to the resource *). but that is one CCU maximum per session, so you have a webtop with application access, network access, ... it is still one CCU.

    user sessions are always consumed, so they are higher.
