Tech/Engineering - Computers (general)
Spanish term or phrase: activo (as noun)
A list of units of measurement relating to licencing requirements for software contains "por activo" and has as a corresponding definition "se requiere una licencia para todos los "Server Endpoint", "Client Endpoint", "Device Endpoint" u "Other Endpoint" fisicos o lógicos, monitoreados, gestionados o descubiertos por el Product." I'm tempted to translate "activo" as "asset" (borrowing the word from bookkeeping), but would appreciate confirmation or correction.
