Contract Analysis - How are licensed computers chosen

(imported topic written by tprichard)

My company is starting to work with contracts. One question that has come up is this. When viewing a contract analysis, if there are more licenses used than available, how does the system determine which computers are licensed vs. unlicensed. Is it determined by a usage property? It almost seems that those are separated arbitrarily.

Thanks in advance if you can shed some light on this for us.
