11.2.1 Adding managed software information
Select Managed Software in the Assets module, and then you can add managed software information to the Managed Software List. When managed software information is added, you can check the number of used software licenses.
You can view the managed software information in the Software List view by selectingSoftware Inventory in the Inventory module and then Software List. You can also view the managed software information in the Software License List view by selecting Software License in the Assets module and then Software License List.
To add managed software information:
-
Display the Assets module.
-
In the menu area, select Managed Software and then Managed Software List.
-
In the information area, click the Add button.
-
In the displayed dialog box, enter the information, and then click OK.
The managed software information is added and displayed in the list.
- Tip
-
You can also batch-add managed software information by importing a CSV file. We recommend that you create and import a CSV file if you need to add a large amount of managed software information.
If you specify the software that corresponds to the managed software information, the number of used licenses can be counted based on the collected software information, so that you can understand the usage of the licenses. You can specify multiple software programs. For example, by specifying different versions of the same software, you can know the accumulated number of used licenses regardless of the versions.
You can also be aware of the insufficient number of software licenses and identify the computers on which software is illegally used, by assigning software licenses to computers and adding the corresponding software license information. The relevant information can be displayed in the Software (License Violation) panel by selecting Overview and then Dashboard.
