I have an Endpoint Standard Protection license with 4 seats. I asked these kinds of questions when I setup the account some time ago but am finding I remain unclear on how to make sure I've got things properly licensed.
If I look at "Devices", I have four: Laura, MomDad, Square and Vostro. Not that it matters but all of these are running macOS except for Vostro, which is Windows 7.
If I look at "People", I see nine. Most of my computers have two user accounts -- one is a standard (non-admin) user who is the primary user of that station, plus a second account with admin privileges that I use solely to authenticate for installing software. The MomDad station is unique in that it contains an admin account plus a "mom" user and a "dad" user.
So if I look at the "Dashboard", it shows me as having 4 active users, 4 inactive and 1 "not protected". Per whatever information I found when I first setup Endpoint, I added the standalone admin accounts (for example, MomDad/admac) as login entries on the "Administrators" user in Endpoint. From what I recall, this was to make those users "not count" as additional seats.
I am the sole user of both Square and Vostro. My understanding of licenses was that each individual counts as a license -- so that would be me, mom, dad and Laura for a total of 4. Or do I need 5 licenses because even though I am the sole user of two devices those still count as separate licenses?
Have I configured things appropriately to "ignore" the admin accounts that I've setup solely for authentication? Is there any better way to hide them from the dashboard so it doesn't look like I'm operating with less licenses than I should have?
Anyone who can better explain this -- much appreciated.
