Details
A license entitlement typically represents a license agreement for a
licensed product. It includes such agreement details as the license
type (full, upgrade, maintenance, and so forth) and the license model
(per-user, per-installation, OEM, machine, and so forth). Based on
the license model, it also specifies which users or machines are
covered by the entitlement.
Some licensed products might have only one entitlement. For
example, you might have a product whose installations all fall under
a full license, per-installation agreement.
Other products, however, might have multiple entitlements. For
example, you might have a product for which you have OEM-
licensed installations and per-user licensed installations. To correctly
cover both license agreements, you need two entitlements with
different license models and user/machine coverage. A second
example might be a product that includes a full license agreement
and a version upgrade agreement.
If you used the Auto-Reconcile Wizard to create licensed products,
an entitlement was created for each licensed product. If any of the
licensed products require additional entitlements, you can add them
at this time. If you manually created licensed products, they do not
yet have entitlements; you must create them.
For instructions, see Section 7.2, "Creating an Entitlement," on
page 54.
To populate a licensed product with the number of licenses you have
purchased for the product, you add catalog products to the licensed
product's entitlements.
If you used the Auto-Reconcile Wizard to create licensed products,
catalog products might already have been added to some of the
licensed products. If any licensed products require additional catalog
products, you can add them at this time. For instructions, see
Section 7.3, "Adding Catalog Products," on page
If you don't have a catalog product to assign to a licensed product,
you can use purchase summary records to add licenses to the
licensed product. For instructions, see
Purchase Summary Records," on page
If a licensed product you created includes an Inventory entitlement
(an entitlement that draws its installation counts from Inventory data),
you need to add discovered products to the entitlement. The
discovered products associate the appropriate software product
installations with the licensed product, Per-User, Per-Named User,
OEM, Machine, and Per-Installation are the Inventory entitlements.
For instructions, see Section 7.5, "Adding Discovered Products," on
page 61.
If you created an entitlement that uses an OEM, Machine, Per-
Named User, or Per-User license model, you must specify with
devices or users are covered by the entitlement.
For instructions, see Section 7.6, "Specifying User and Device
Coverage," on page 63.
