Agent-Only Licensing
- Former user (Deleted)
Overview
With the introduction of the Universal Agent 6.9.0.0, Universal Controller became the central location for the management of all licensing.
If you do not use Universal Controller as your enterprise job scheduler and workload automation broker solution, the Controller has an Agent-only license mode that allows you to manage licensing for Universal Agent 7.2.x deployments.
User Interface
If an Agent-only license is applied to the Controller, logging into the Controller user interface presents restricted navigation.
Automation Center Navigation
The Automation Center navigation pane, as shown here, which normally is the default navigation pane in the Controller user interface, is not relevant in the context of an Agent-only license, and is hidden from view; the Automation Center icon is not available for selection.
Bundles and Promotion
The Bundles & Promotion navigation pane, as shown here, is not relevant in the context of an Agent-only license and is hidden from view; the Bundles & Promotion icon is not available for selection.

System Details Widget
If the License is for a normal Universal Controller system (that is, not Agent-Only), no changes to the License Information are displayed; no mention of Agent-Only will be presented if the -AGENTONLY attribute is set to False.
If the License is for Agent Only set-up, the icon to display Licensed Monthly Task Instance Executions will not be displayed, nor will any information about Tasks or Monthly Executions.
