Access to the product is determined by two factors:
Number of users vs. number of users permitted by the license
Expiration date of the license
How users are counted:
The number of users of the product is determined by:
Number of active and disabled/suspended users
The default admin user account is counted as a valid user. Do not delete this account. For more information, see Create Admin Account.
Deleted users may remain in the system for a period of time. These users are not counted against the license limit.
