Update software License Compliance information manually

Update software License Compliance information manually

You can manually update software License Compliance information any time. If you have a large number of applications, however, the process of updating the information might take several minutes.

The Agent-managed devices in your inventory have software applications that are available in the Software Catalog.

Software License Compliance information is updated automatically every day after the appliance daily backup process runs. Manually updating License Compliance information enables you to get the latest information available.

NOTE: If you have not added License assets for applications in inventory, the License Compliance page shows the number of seats available to applications as 0, and the variance is the number of software installations.
1.
Go to the License Compliance page:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Asset Management, then click License Compliance.
2.
Click Update Now above the list.
Tip:
 
TIP: Clicking the Refresh button above the list on the right simply redisplays the information already collected. It does not obtain new license usage information.

Customize license usage warning thresholds

Customize license usage warning thresholds

You can customize license usage warning thresholds to specify the license usage percentage that is considered to be at warning or critical levels.

License compliance information appears on the appliance Dashboard. If the Organization component is enabled on your appliance, you customize license usage warning thresholds for each organization separately.

1.
Go to Admin-level General Settings page:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Settings, then click Control Panel.
c.
On the Control Panel, click General Settings.
2.
In the General Options tab, scroll down to the Asset License Usage Threshold section.
3.
In the Warning Threshold and Critical Threshold fields, enter new values.
The default Warning Threshold is 90. The default Critical Threshold is 100.
4.
To save, click Save and Restart Services.

View License Compliance and Configuration information

View License Compliance and Configuration information

If you have set up License assets for applications, you can view License Compliance and Configuration information for those applications.

Information is available for License assets associated with applications listed under the Software tab and applications listed under the Software Catalog tab. See Setting up License Compliance.

If you have multiple organizations, you view license information for each organization separately.

1.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
2.
Click Home.
NOTE: The appliance updates the data in the License Compliance widget every eight hours. Clicking the Refresh button, however, does not update the data; it simply redisplays the data that has already been collected.

The following colors indicate the usage level:
