When the 'Update Licenses' operation is performed for a Workload Domain, in certain cases, the incorrect quantity of licenses is shown in the 'Available quantity' field

Problem

This is due to a miscalculation in the no. of available licenses. Along with the incorrect quantity, an error alert might also be displayed saying,

  • 'License key has insufficient license.'

Cause

A miscalculation in the code for the number of available licenses is causing the error alert to appear.

Solution

The users can simply choose to ignore the incorrect license count in the 'Available quantity' field when assigning the license. Also, the error alert should be ignored as it does not prohibit the user from moving forward. Users can proceed with the addition of a license even with the error alert. If there are sufficient licenses available, the operation will succeed.
