How are Managed Devices Counted for Panorama Licensing?

Panorama counts the number of managed devices for licensing purposes.
Panorama counts the number of configured serial numbers even if they are inactive.
Hence it is very important to delete the inactive devices from Panorama so it can have room for Active legitimate devices.
When we exceed the count of devices based on license. Panorama does not accept any more connections for new devices
The number of virtual systems (vsys) enabled on each device is not counted. For example, a device with 1 vsys and a device with 5 vsys will both count as 1 device against the license.
A High Availability (HA) pair of managed devices will count as two separate devices.
