Exclusive Contracts in Omma's License Management System define specific rules for account association, limiting license usage based on contract connections. Below are the key aspects:
Connected Accounts
Account Associations: When a sub-account of a reseller is linked to a contract, it exclusively uses licenses associated with that contract.
Unrestricted Access: If an account isn't linked to any contract, it can access licenses from all open contracts.
Multiple Associations: A contract can have multiple connected accounts, and similarly, an account can be linked to multiple contracts.
Account Restrictions and License Usage
Changing Restrictions: An account using licenses from unrestricted contracts will keep renewing them from its current contract, even if another contract is restricted. For new licenses, it can only use connected restricted contracts.
Restrictions Removal: If all restrictions are lifted from an account’s contracts, renewals still happen under the old restricted contracts. New licenses can only come from public contracts.
Partial Restrictions: If some restrictions are lifted but not all, renewals stay with current contracts. New licenses can only be from the still-restricted contracts.
