License assets can be associated either with items in the Software Catalog or with items listed on the Software page. However, they cannot be associated with both Software Catalog and Software page items at once.
If you have existing License assets, you can migrate them from items on the Software page to items on the Software Catalog page. This enables you to take advantage of features available through the Software Catalog, including License Compliance. See Migrate License assets to applications in the Software Catalog.
You can add License assets for applications in the Software Catalog inventory. Adding License assets enables you to view license compliance information on the License Compliance list and on the License Compliance Dashboard widget.
Software Catalog applications must be classified as Discovered, Not Discovered, or Locally Cataloged. You cannot add License assets for applications classified as Uncataloged.
When you associate License assets with applications, you can also view license information on the Software Catalog Detail page. If the Organization component is enabled on your appliance, you manage license information for each organization separately.
