Review the following license considerations:

The following licenses are currently not enforced:
- Deduplication Active Store Capacity
- All VM licenses (CPU Sockets on Hypervisor Hosts, Protected Virtual Machines, and Virtual Machines)
- All end point user licenses
If you exceed the license usage, CommCell operations will not be affected.
If you apply the CPU Sockets on Hypervisor Hosts or Protected Virtual Machines license on a CommCell environment monitored by capacity licenses, Virtual Server Agent jobs will not count towards capacity, resulting in decreased capacity usage.
