16.6.4 Changing a software name and attributes
Software Name manages the software names and, for each software name, the type, developer, and threshold that has been set.
The threshold is used to monitor license usage status and for determining when to send email notification to the asset manager. If no threshold is set, the value specified in the Server Setup dialog box is assumed (the default is 100%).
For details about specifying the settings in the Server Setup dialog box, see 7.3.4(8) Threshold for license excess.
To change a software name, software type, developer, and threshold:
-
Specify a search condition, if necessary, and search for the software name to be changed.
The software names satisfying the condition are retrieved.
-
Click the link of the software name to be changed.
The Software Name Details dialog box is displayed.
To cancel, click the Close button.
-
In the Name tab, edit Software name, Software type, Developer, and Threshold.
For Threshold, specify a numeric value in the range from 0 to 100 (%).
If the software type is changed from Commercial or Shareware to Freeware, the number of owned licenses is not changed automatically to unlimited. To change the license into unlimited for software for which the software type has been changed to Freeware, you need to take some operation. To do so, delete the number of owned licenses registered in the Software Details dialog box (Asset tab) and select the Unlimited license check box.
-
Click the Update button.
The Software Name Details dialog box closes, and the information is updated based on the edited information.
