<font face="Lucida Grande" size="3">I may need to read the fine print of the EULA with Casper or perhaps contact their legal department but if the client machine is not in use how can it be taking up a license? If you decommission a machine and toss it in storage, its not in use at all so how can it feasibly be using a license? I don't know the ins and outs of how exactly the license works but I would contact Jamf and ask them, and then let us know so we all know.</font> </p>

But then isn't that stolen machine still taking up a managed or unmanaged license ? This is another example of a thing we would do as well.  </p>
