[Casper] Feature Request - Tracking Decommissioned Machines

[Roger Corbin]

But then isn't that stolen machine still taking up a managed or  
unmanaged license ? This is another example of a thing we would do as  
well.
We are a large school district and over the years these stolen or  
decommissioned machines can add up. Taking up managed or unmanaged
licenses in Casper. Perhaps Jamf can still charge us for these  
licenses, but at a lower rate.
