Summary
The License information page shows details of the current license status and lets you reactivate your license if any changes have been made.
In the Products section, under Features, you can see which consumers you are able to use, and which type of instructions you can run according to their prefix pattern. Available consumers and prefixes are listed below under License requirements for consumer applications.
Reactivating licenses
You can reactivate a license after it has been updated by 1E by clicking the Reactivate button. It takes a few minutes to retrieve the new license information and the page caches its displayed information for around 10 minutes. After this time you can update the view by clicking the Refresh button, which updates the information displayed on the page and in the lower right-hand corner of the browser.
License requirements for consumer applications
For any application, tool or feature to use instructions, its consumer and prefix pattern must be registered in your license. The table below shows the consumers and prefix patterns that are typically included in a Tachyon license. The table also includes other applications where instructions - and therefore licensing - is not applicable. Tachyon expects to find the license file in: %PROGRAMDATA%\1E\Licensing on your Tachyon (Master Stack) Server.

|---|---|---|---|---|

| Explorer application provides functionality to run, approve and schedule instructions, view Tachyon managed devices. Used to investigate, remediate issues and manage operations across all your endpoints in real-time. If you want to use instructions developed by third parties, your own developers, or 1E developers on your behalf, then you must ask 1E to register the third party and customer prefixes in your license. Please refer to Developing your own instructions. You cannot create or update instructions using other prefixes because they must be signed by others. |

This pack also includes another instruction used by Patch Success. The 1E-Inventory Product Pack replaces 1E-Inventory-ProductPacks previously included in the installation of the SLA component of the Tachyon platform. |

| Application Migration and WSS | Nomad | N/A | N/A | Application Migration intelligently automates the migration of applications during a Configuration Manager OS deployment. Using migration rules (defined by an administrator), previously installed applications can be reinstalled, upgraded or replaced with an alternative during an OS deployment task sequence. These rules can include usage criteria, allowing you to choose to only install previously installed applications if they were being used, or perhaps replace a rarely used application with a less costly alternative. This functionality enables applications to be actively rationalized during an OS migration exercise, standardizing on products and versions and reclaiming unused software. |

| Many businesses rely on Microsoft Endpoint Manager Configuration Manager (MEMCM) to deploy software, patches and updates across their company networks. It is crucial that Configuration Manager is working effectively. The MEMCM Client Health policy monitors Configuration Manager client health and performance. It checks for cache availability, inventory cycles, service availability and Configuration Manager WMI integrity - common causes of Configuration Manager client problems on devices. The MEMCM Client Health policy replaces the previous SCCM Client Health policy and covers the following:
This policy is intended for deployment to Windows devices only. | |
| Nomad |
|
| Nomad is included as part of the 1E Client, and as part of that integration, we offer a Nomad client health compliance policy in Guaranteed State. This verifies common Nomad requirements such as ACP registration, disk availability, firewall exceptions, crash notifications and cache monitoring. The Nomad client health policy replaces the client health tile in the Nomad dashboard plus additional remediation steps:

| Third party and customer integration software | See notes | N/A | N/A | You must ask 1E to add consumer names to your license if you intend to use third party or your own custom software to integrate with Tachyon and leverage its real-time client-based features. Examples:
You will probably also require your own custom prefixes for instructions and/or Guaranteed State fragments used by these Consumers, theefore you will need to ask 1E to add these perfixes too, as decribed the top of this table. |
