16.6 Establishing correspondence between software names (Software Name)
By using the Software Name job menu, you can establish correspondence between the names of installed software assets and the software asset names so that it becomes possible to manage license usage. The names of installed software assets are the names used at the sources of the management information and registered as is by JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Manager into the asset management database. Therefore, to manage license usage correctly, you must establish the correspondence between these names and the actual names of the software assets.
You can also change other software information (such as the email notification threshold for exceeded licenses, license information, and downgrade software).
By default, only the administrator can execute Software Name.
To establish correspondence between software names, start from the Software Name window, which is displayed by clicking the Software Name job menu. The following figure shows the Software Name window.
