You can allocate software licenses to the computers that have permissions to use the software.
When the managed software information is registered, you can know if there is an insufficient number of software licenses and identify the computers on which software is being illegally used. The relevant information can also be displayed in the Software (License Violation) panel by selecting Overview and then Dashboard.

Display the Assets module.

In the menu area, select Software License and then Software License List.

In the displayed dialog box, select the computers to which you want to allocate the software license, and then click OK.
The software license is allocated to the selected computers.
