Managing directly probed enterprise objects
Many enterprise objects are probed directly to collect metadata. For objects that are probed directly, follow these steps to remove them from license counts:
: If the object was captured during data collection, you will need to exclude it from collection so that future collections do not recapture the object.
See Exclude objects from future data collections.
For Backup Manager, you can go directly to the backup software and remove the client from the backup policy, according to the vendor's instructions. In this case, you do not have to delete the object from the database.
: To remove a directly probed object from licensing consideration, you must delete the object via the Object Maintenance tool in the Portal.
