16.6.1 Registering a software name

Software names are the names of software that are used for management of assets. To register a license and assign a software name, select a software name from those that are registered here.

To register a new software name:

1. Click the Add button.

   The Add Software dialog box is displayed.

   To cancel, click the Close button.

2. Specify Software name, Software type, Developer, and Threshold, and then click the OK button.

   Specification of Software name and Software type is mandatory.

   To specify Software type:

   • By specifying Commercial or Shareware, the software comes under license management and is counted in the totals of the Owned License List job menu. If the number of licenses in use exceeds the number of licenses you own, the Excess License List job menu is displayed and an email notification is sent.

   • If Freeware is specified, the license is unlimited and the software is not displayed in the number of owned and available licenses in the Owned License List job menu. Also, the Excess License List job menu is not displayed.

   The Add Software dialog box closes, and the software name is registered based on the specified information.

The following figure shows the Add Software dialog box in which a software name to be registered is specified.
