What is the License Service's frequency of refreshing data?

In IBM Cloud Pak Foundational Services, the License Service is responsible for collecting, tracking, and reporting license usage data. It ensures compliance by monitoring the consumption of IBM Cloud Pak licenses across the environment.

The License Service refreshes its data every 5 minutes to keep the license usage information up to date.

This frequent update cycle helps organizations maintain accurate tracking of their entitlements and avoid non-compliance issues.

A. 1 hour (Incorrect)

The License Service updates its records more frequently than every hour to provide timely insights.

B. 30 seconds (Incorrect)

A refresh interval of 30 seconds would be too frequent for license tracking, leading to unnecessary overhead.

C. 5 minutes (Correct)

The IBM License Service refreshes its data every 5 minutes, ensuring real-time tracking without excessive system load.

D. 30 minutes (Incorrect)

A 30-minute refresh would delay the reporting of license usage, which is not the actual behavior of the License Service.
