Accessed through the Configuration drop-down menu, the Licensing page allows you to view and manage the license associated with your Starling Identity Analytics & Risk Intelligence account.
Licensing page
The Licensing page is displayed when the Licensing link is selected from the Configuration drop-down menu located in the navigation bar. The Licensing page is used for managing the data source instances that are configured for use by your account, as well as for providing information on your license.
The following information appears on this page:
License information pane
Located in the upper left corner of the page is a pane displaying the type and name of your license, the number of accounts covered by your license, and information on how those accounts are currently configured for the license. The following information is displayed regarding the accounts:
- Used Licenses: This displays the number of accounts that are currently licensed and being analyzed.
- Unused Licenses: This displays the number of licenses that are not currently being used (due to an inactive licensed instance, when there are more licenses than accounts, or both).
- License Overage: This displays the number of accounts that are not covered by your license.
- Subscription Licenses: This displays the number of licenses associated with your subscribed data sources. These accounts do not count toward your license's account allotment.

Instance Data
This tab provides information on the instance as well as options for managing all types of data source instances.
Active/Inactive
Clicking this link (which changes based on whether or not the license for the instance is active) will activate or deactivate licensing for the instance. An active license means the instance will be analyzed during data collection. An inactive license means the instance will not be analyzed during data collection until the license is reactivated. If this is a licensed instance, an inactive status means associated accounts will not count toward your license's account allotment until the license is reactivated. For more information, see Activating or deactivating licenses.
Purge Data
Clicking this link will delete the instance. This is only available if the data source module associated with it has been uninstalled or redirected to use a different data source, and there must be no custom rules currently associated with the data source module. For more information, see Purging data.
Collected Accounts
This displays the number of accounts collected from the instance.
Collector agent
This displays the name of the collector agent as a link. Clicking the link opens the Data Source Modules page for the collector agent.

Available only for Active Directory and Active Roles Server instances, this tab is used to configure which containers within the instance will be included or excluded during evaluation.

Clicking this button allows you to select one of the following configuration options:
- All: (Default) Selecting this option means all containers will be evaluated.
- Include: Selecting this option means only the containers listed in the Selected Containers column (as well as any sub-containers) will be included in the evaluation. For more information, see Configuring containers.
