- The fourth level nodes display the licensing results for installation groups, showing which licenses are in use. You can select a node to delve deeper into the software installation lists and examine individual installation records.
The top-right corner of the node map shows the reconciliation number that generated the current node map, along with the timestamp of the last reconciliation run. If reconciliation is executed with domain separation settings enabled, multiple node maps are displayed.
