8 If necessary, add additional allocations or modify the existing allocations. Refer to the
following sections for instructions:
Section 14.2, "Manually Adding Demographic Allocations," on page 120
Section 15.1, "Adjusting the License Quantity for a Demographic Allocation," on
page 125
Section 14.3, "Manually Adding Device Allocations," on page 121
Section 15.2, "Removing Allocations," on page 126
If you find that adding additional demographic data to devices or purchase records might result
in better initial allocations for the product, you can add the data and then run the Initialize
Allocations Wizard again. Any existing allocations are removed before the new ones are added.
14.2 Manually Adding Demographic Allocations
You can allocate a product's licenses to sites, departments, or cost centers. The demographic value
(for example, Site1, DepartmentQ, or Cost Center123) must already exist as a value in your
Inventory device data or purchase records data.
1 In ZENworks Control Center, click the Asset Management tab.
2 On the License Management page, click Licensed Products.
3 In the Licensed Products list, click the licensed product for which you want to allocate licenses.
4 Make sure that demographic allocations are enabled for the product:
4a Click the General tab.
4b In the License Allocation Settings panel, fill in the following fields:
Enable demographic allocations: Select this option.
Demographic allocation type: All demographic allocations for a single licensed product
must be of the same type. Select the type (Site, Department, Cost Center) you want to use
for this product.
Update license allocations with demographic data from future purchase record
imports: Select this option if, when importing future purchase records for the product,
you want to automatically update the allocated license quantity based on the purchase
record's demographic data.
For example, assume that the product is using Department allocations. You import a
purchase record that includes licenses assigned to DepartmentQ. The licenses are added as
a DepartmentQ demographic allocation.
