14.4 Software License
This section explains how to execute asset management jobs related to software licenses.
The following jobs are executed for license management:
-
Checking the license usage status from the totaled results to determine if there are exceeded licenses or invalid licenses being used.
-
Software asset information maintenance, such as registering information on purchased software and changing group licenses.
-
Registering information on volume licenses and managing points-based licenses.
The total number of licenses can be obtained by executing the Totals List & Execution job menu or by periodically executing a Notice of license excess task or a Totals number of licenses task registered in Windows Task Scheduler. If the totals are based on management information collected from JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Manager, select the Software information check box in Acquisition target in the ITDM2 management information acquisition job menu.
The jobs related to license management are displayed under the Software License job category. This section describes the operations available from each menu and shows the windows. Each subsection title shows the selected menu name in parentheses.
