Select the license threshold for when the alert will occur. You should set a threshold that reflects your company policy. If you wish to reduce the risk that a Term License is issued for this product, you should set the threshold to be at or below the number of licenses held for this product. Otherwise you can set it to the number of licenses (perpetual + term) that you wish to allow.
Please Note: There are situations that may prevent the alert from displaying. Some of these situations are described in the Subscription Entitlement Service FAQ. Organizations should be aware that regardless of the alerting settings, it is still the responsibility of the Organization to fulfill the obligations of their license agreement.
Optionally, you can customize the message that is displayed at the time of the alert.
Finally, you can decide if offline usage is enabled. If set to ON, the user must be online and signed in to the application in order to be able to user it. If this is set to OFF, users will be able to continue to use the product in the event that they have no network connection when they start the application or during their session of application usage.
