BI Conversion – License Deduction Criteria
This topic provides information about the license deduction criteria used in LeapLogic to transform legacy BI workloads to a modern BI platform equivalent.

License Deduction Criteria
When you transform legacy BI workloads in LeapLogic, the script license quota is deducted for each script upon successful conversion to its target equivalent. Scripts that fail to convert do not consume the license quota.
Taking Tableau as an example, the script license quota is deducted for each .twb file that is successfully converted to the target platform such as Power BI, Amazon QuickSight, etc.
The overall license deduction logic is determined by the following criteria:
- File Similarity
- Automation Level Indicator
- Number Successfully Converted Scripts
The following sections provide a detailed explanation of each criterion.
File Similarity
The platform employs a similarity evaluation framework that determines the relative correspondence of an incoming file against a corpus of previously processed artifacts. This evaluation yields a similarity index which, in turn, is reconciled with internally governed threshold parameters. The interaction between these values serves as the basis for deciding whether an adjustment to the license quota becomes applicable. In certain conditions—when the index exhibits sufficient divergence or proximity to the threshold—quota units may be appropriated, while under alternative conditions, no adjustment is applied.
Accordingly, files demonstrating pronounced affinity to earlier executions may, under some circumstances, bypass incremental quota attribution, whereas those exhibiting less congruence may result in measurable deductions. The precise determination is mediated by proprietary system logic, operating on layered interpretations of similarity scores.
Automation Level Indicator
Automation Level Indicator refers to the extent to which scripts are automatically converted from source to the target equivalent. Higher automation level indicator value indicates that most of the script is automatically converted and requires less manual intervention. The script quota deduction depends on whether the automation level indicator meets or exceeds the predefined threshold value.
Number of Successfully Transformed Scripts
This is one of the criteria used for license quota deduction, where the deduction depends on the number of successfully transformed scripts or .twb files.
