Machine ID templates are usually created and configured for certain types of machine. When an agent install package is created, the package's settings are typically copied from a selected machine ID template. You can create as many machine ID templates as you want without additional cost. Since an agent never checks into a machine ID template account, it is not counted against your total license count. Machine ID template is a machine ID record without an agent. Tasks assigned to a machine ID by VSA users direct the agent's actions on the managed machine. A one-to-one relationship exists between the agent on a managed machine and its account name on the VSA. The agent is the client software installed on the managed machine. The machine ID / group ID / organization ID is the account name for a managed machine in the VSA database.
