Modifying a Provisioning Container

When you modify a Provisioning Container, you in fact create a new Entitlement with parameters copied from an existing Entitlement currently linked with the Provisioning Container. After the new Entitlement is deployed, it becomes the current Entitlement for the Provisioning Container. All previous Entitlements are maintained in the transaction history of the Provisioning Container.

When you modify a Provisioning Container, you can:

>Add a new Product or remove an existing Product.

>Exclude or include Features in the Products

>Modify the license model attributes such as Execution Count, Time, and Grace

>Modify the number of Identities

>Modify the Station Count

>Modify Max Registration Count

>Allow or deny customers to manage fingerprints and active stations
