How is Collaboration Services licensed?

Resolução
Quest Collaboration Services (QCS) is licensed based on the count of published AD objects.
You can purchase a license to sync AD objects only, F/B (or Calendar) information only, or both. If the AD sync is done outside of the QCS product, then F/B license is all that is needed (in this scenario, ensure that QCS can make a match to the AD objects before F/B is sent).
There can be any mixture of AD and F/B counts. For example, consider a license with 500 AD and 200 F/B. In this case, you can sync 500 AD objects, whereas the F/B (or Calendar) information can only be synced for 200 objects.
Object Classes
Objects can be mail/mailbox-enabled and of one of the following classes:
- User
- Group
- ContactLicense Count
When an object is published in a collection, one license is consumed.
When an object is removed from a collection, one license is returned to the pool of purchased licenses.Total Number of Licenses
