Importing license data in CSV files

To track License Compliance information for applications, you need to create License assets. License assets can be associated either with applications in the Software Catalog inventory or the Software page inventory. License assets cannot be associated with both inventory types at the same time.

The options for tracking licenses, and the requirements for setting up License Compliance, differ for Software Catalog inventory and for Software page inventory.

About License Compliance for Software Catalog applications

About License Compliance for Software Catalog applications

About license upgrades
About license downgrades

The appliance enables you to view License Compliance information for applications in the Software Catalog inventory. This information appears on the License Compliance page and in the License Compliance Dashboard widget.

After you configure License assets for applications in the Software Catalog inventory, you can view the number of seats installed on Agent-managed devices, the number of seats available, the type of licenses applied, and, if metering is enabled for the application, usage information. In addition, the appliance leverages information in the Software Catalog to automatically apply the correct licenses to application versions that are classified as upgraded or downgraded.

To set up License Compliance for applications in the Software Catalog inventory:

•
(Optional) Customize the License Asset Type to meet your information management requirements. See Customize the License Asset Type.
•
(Optional) Enable metering for Software Catalog applications. When metering is enabled, the License Compliance page shows whether applications have or have not been used in the past 30, 60, and 90 days. See About software metering.
•
Create License assets and associate them with applications in the Software Catalog inventory. See Add License assets for Software Catalog inventory.
•
(Optional) Set the threshold levels for License Compliance used on the Dashboard widget. The default Warning Threshold is 90. The default Critical Threshold is 100. See Customize license usage warning thresholds.

About license upgrades

About license upgrades

Application maintenance plans often enable users to upgrade to newer versions of applications when those versions become available, and the License Compliance page shows the number of installations that are considered to be upgrades.

To track upgrades, the appliance uses the information in the Software Catalog and the license details to determine whether to associate new versions of applications with existing licenses. For example, if a License asset was created for the 1.0 version of an application, and the maintenance plan entitles users to upgrade, the 2.0 version of the application is automatically covered by the License asset when it is released. In this example, the License asset must be configured as follows:

•
The Includes Maintenance field must be set to Yes.
•
The Maintenance Expiration Date must be later than the version 2.0 GA (General Availability) date in the Software Catalog.
•
The License Mode must be Enterprise or Unit License.
•
The Include Upgrade Rights must be set to Yes or Yes - Select from list.

For more information about these settings, see Add License assets for Software Catalog inventory.
