Assigning Permissions for License Management Functionality

 

The License Management feature enables you to track instances of one or more software titles against a specified condition and quantity. The License Management agent scans all existing scheduled scans and searches for instances of the software titles specified in Software License Profile records. It compares the actual quantities found against the conditions, flags the profiles that meet the conditions, and updates the profiles with the actual quantities.
