How do you know the number of BMC Patrol licenses are deployed?

BMC Patrol is licensed by number of CPUs.

BMC Patrol product will be installed in a Server that it will have several CPUs.

Them we will have BMC Atrium CMDB relationship:- BMC Patrol product = BMC_PRODUCT- This Product will be installed in a Server = BMC_ComputerSystem- This Server will have several CPUs = BMC_PROCESSOR

Example:- Server A with BMC Patrol installed and 2 CPUs- Server B with BMC Patrol installed and 1 CPU

Total of BMC Patrol licenses deployed = 3
