Legacy Software Asset Management plugin setup process
To get started with the legacy Software Asset Management (com.snc.software_asset_management) plugin, you need to identify and discover software owned, create software models, create license records, and configure software counters.
To get started with the legacy Software Asset Management (com.snc.software_asset_management) plugin, perform the following:
- Identify the software that your organization owns using one of the following methods:
- Use Discovery to identify currently owned software and begin working with the legacy Software Asset Management (com.snc.software_asset_management) plugin.
- Identify and add the software manually or with a third-party tool.
Make the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) accurate.
Clean up information in CMDB. At first, focus on your top 10-20 software vendors.
Create software models.
Create software models for all of the software that your organization wants to monitor. Software models can also be imported from another source, such as a Discovery application, an existing data set of software licenses, or a third-party source.
Create software license records.
Create software license records for all of the software that your organization owns. This information can also be based on information from a purchasing source or imported as a spreadsheet.
Configure software counters.
Configure software counters to view your organization's software compliance levels for all of your software.
