About custom license families

If you discover that a KnowledgeBase license family does not accurately reflect your license risk, License Managers – users with the License Manager role – can create and manage custom license families. These custom license families can then be selected for a custom license which can then be assigned to custom components. This ensures that BOMs accurately show your license risk.

Custom license families:

Consist of a name, a risk profile and optionally, a description.
Can be assigned to a custom license.
Can be used to create policy rules.
Use a combination of component usage and distribution to determine license risk.

License Managers can use the License Families tab in License Management to create, edit, and delete custom license families.

Note: If your License Manager created a custom license family labeled "Restrictive Third Party Proprietary" or "Internal Proprietary" before the 2019.10.0 release, the number "(1)" is appended to those custom license family names.
