2.1 Preparing Your Management Zone

Before you can begin setting up compliance for your software products, you need to prepare your
®
ZENworks Management Zone. This includes configuring several Management Zone settings,
discovering software products that are installed on devices in your Management Zone, and
populating your Management Zone with software purchase information.
The following table explains the tasks you need to complete and where you can find specific
instructions to help you complete them.

There are two ZENworks Management Zone settings related to
license compliance. One setting determines when the compliance
engine runs each day and the other setting determines the user
source (authoritative user source or Inventory user data) for user-
based license models.
