Setting

Definition

Active

Checked if the rule is currently active.  Unchecked otherwise.

Note:  Once the rule has been applied to any existing authorizations, un-checking this setting will simply stop enforcement of the rule on existing or new authorizations.  It will not, however, remove any adjustments that had already been made.

When a rule is active, it is enforced with every run of Consolidate.  Therefore, changing the License Units Required value for authorizations being managed by the rule to any value other than the one specified in the rule will cause the change to be erased in favor of the rule's value on the next enforcement.
