How can a user determine current Carbon Black EDR?
Environment
VMware Carbon Black EDR (Response)
Resolution
How long do Sensors take up a license?
- License usage is calculated over a 24 hour period. Any sensor offline more than 24 hours will not be counted.

How can a user determine current Carbon Black EDR license counts?
- The "Current Sensor Count" refers to the total number of sensors that have reported in the last 24 hours. To see this value:
- Log into the EDR web interface as an admin user
- Click Server Dashboard.
- Review the "License Information" panel.
- The "Online Sensor Count" is the total number of sensors reported in the last 5 minutes.
- The "Total Sensor Count" is the sum count of all sensors ever installed - every time a new sensor registers with the cluster, EDR increments this number. If a sensor is uninstalled and later reinstalled, then it counts as 2 for this value. This value has no licensing effect.
