Explanation

In Splunk's licensing model, license volume is measured based on the amount of data ingested and indexed by indexers. License pools allocate a portion of the total licensed daily volume to groups of indexers (license slaves). Each indexer reports its indexed volume to the license master, and that consumption is tracked against its assigned pool. Indexes (B) are logical storage containers, not components that consume licenses independently. Heavy Forwarders (C) can parse data but their license consumption is counted at the indexer they forward to. Search Heads (D) do not index data and therefore do not consume license volume.
