APM Licensing

Hi All/DC Experts,   Just wanted to know what is the difference of CCU and ACCESS Sessions.   I am really confused with the licensing of APM.   Thanks..

    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.

    Hi Lucas,

     

    Thank very much for your response here.

     

    So meaning if I open those 2 Portal Resource simultaneously it will just consume 1 CCU?

    Yes. APM can't tell the difference between one portal resource access by a user and two. The architecture doesn't work that way.

    Hi Lucas,

     

    One last question, how about I open 1 portal access and 1 application access. It will consume 2 CCU right?

     

    Thanks again.
