Details
Select Device if you want to allocate a license to each device that has
the product installed.
Select Demographic, then select Site, Department, or Cost Center if
you want to allocate licenses to sites, departments, or cost centers.
If you are creating device allocations, the Initialize from Inventory
option is the only enabled option. The wizard searches the Inventory
data to find devices that have the product installed and then allocates a
license to each device.
If you are creating demographic allocations, select the data source you
want to use to create the license allocations:
Initialize from Purchase Records: Allocates licenses based on
demographic data found in your purchase records.
For example, assume that you are initializing license allocations
for ProductA based on the Department demographic.
PurchaseRecord1 includes 10 ProductA licenses assigned to
DepartmentQ. PurchaseRecord2 includes 20 ProductA licenses
assigned to DepartmentZ. For ProductA, the wizard allocates 10
licenses to DepartmentQ and 20 licenses to DepartmentZ.
Initialize from Inventory: Allocates licenses based on
demographic data associated with Inventory device data.
For example, assume that you are initializing license allocations
for ProductA based on the Site demographic. Device1, Device2,
and Device3 have ProductA installed. Device1 and Device2 are
assigned to Site1 and Device3 is assigned to Site2. The wizard
allocates two licenses to Site1 (for Device1 and Device2) and one
license to Site 2 (for Device3).
Update License Allocations Based on Demographic Data in
Future Purchase Record Imports: When importing future
purchase records, updates the allocated license quantity if the
purchase record contains the appropriate demographic data.
For example, assume that you import another purchase record
that includes ProductA licenses that are assigned to
DepartmentQ. The additional licenses are automatically reflected
in the DepartmentQ demographic allocation.
Also creates new allocations if necessary. For example, if a
purchase record includes ProductA licenses that are assigned to
a DepartmentZ (a new department not listed in ProductA's
allocations), a new allocation for DepartmentZ is created.
