5.2.4 Setting the software name assignment method
To manage software licenses, it is necessary to assign the name of the software installed in each device (installed software name) to the name of the software (software name) whose license is being managed.
If Asset Console is set to collect installed software information from JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Manager, installed software names can be automatically assigned to software names.
-
Select the ITDM2 management information acquisition job menu, Action settings, and then Acquisition target. Then in Software information, select the following check boxes.
- Automatically assign software
-
When management information is acquired from JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Manager, if the same software is already registered in the install software list, you can specify whether to add the assignment to the same software name.
You can specify either of the following two values for Automatically assign software:
- Do not assign automatically (default)
- Assign automatically
- Automatically register software
-
When acquiring management information from JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Manager, choose whether to register a software name using the same name as the installed software name and assign them to each other.
If Do not automatically register new information (default) is chosen, only the installed software name is registered, and software name registration or assignment are not executed. If an installed software name not registered in the asset management database is contained in the acquired management information, assign a software name using the Software Name job menu.
If Automatically register new information is specified, an installed software name having the same name in the management information acquired from JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Manager and the software name is registered and automatically assigned. Note that Commercial is registered as the software type. For the procedure for changing the software type, see 16.6.4 Changing a software name and attributes.

- Note
-
If software with a software type of Commercial is already registered in the asset management database, the software is registered under a name with an _X suffix (where X is a number between 1 and 99) and is assigned to an installed software name. The number is sequentially assigned, beginning with 1 to 99. If numbers up to 99 are already registered, no assignment is executed, and the fact that the software name was not registered because it had already been registered is output to the log.
