In the Zip Console, under the ‘Organization Settings’ you will see a tab named ‘Providers’ which gives a view of all the of the third-party providers that are connected to your Zip Console. This will likely cover the IdP, MDM and EDR tools that your organization are using.
Each provider has additional information to help you see that everything is working correctly, or to flag where something needs to be addressed. The two columns to assess:
- Health Check - indicates if there is an error that needs to be addressed
- Licenses in Use - counts the number of licensed assigned to users (in the case of Windows licensing).
Addressing License Counts
It is important to confirm that you have enough available licenses for all the users in your organization. You will also be notified via the Notification center if you are running low on Microsoft licenses. If this is the case, refer to the following documentation on purchasing additional licenses here.
As a reminder, if Zip is your license reseller, you do not need to take any active steps in purchasing new licenses; we will do this on your behalf.
