2.4 Software License

This section explains how to execute asset management jobs related to software licenses.

The following jobs are executed for license management:

The total number of licenses can be obtained by executing the Totals List & Execution job menu or by periodically executing a Notice of license excess task or a Totals number of licenses task registered in Windows Task Scheduler. If the information on which the totals are based is inventory information collected from JP1/Software Distribution, the type of information collected is based on the settings specified in the Server Setup dialog box. For this purpose, you should ensure that the settings enable collection of software information and software inventory information.

The jobs related to license management are displayed under the Software License job category. This section describes the operations available from each menu and shows the windows. Each subsection title shows the selected menu name in parentheses.
