Group license ownership lets you distribute license features to license projects. Defining groups is optional. A license project should only belong to one group.
License Scheduler first balances license distribution at the group level based on group license ownership. The total number of licenses owned by all group members is the number of licenses owned by the group. License Scheduler then balances license distribution among license projects.
With group license ownership, projects can trigger preemption either when the project is using fewer licenses than it owns (the project is underfed) or when the group to which the project belongs is using fewer licenses than the group owns (the group is underfed).
The following tables show changes in preemption behavior based on group license ownership of a total of 20 licenses.
