    Configuring Software Asset Management

    Now that you've finished setting up Software Asset Management, configure Software Asset Management.

    Using the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet template provided, import all of your software entitlements at once. If you've included publisher part numbers (PPN) to the template, software models are automatically created and linked to your entitlements.

    Your discovery source pulls in your software installation data. After the data is pulled into your system, the data is compared against the Software Asset Management Content Service library and normalized. If normalized data doesn't exist in the content library, you can manually normalize your data. Updates to the content library occur weekly, which means that more of your data is automatically normalized.

    • Import software rights

      If you've been tracking your software terms using a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, you can import the software rights. Use the drag-and-drop import interface to import an .xlsx file and automatically manage pre-import and post-import data quality checks. After you've imported the rights, view the results and fix any errors.

    • Software license maintenance

      Get visibility into your software maintenance entitlements to effectively manage these licenses throughout their life cycle.

    • View normalization suggestions

      Normalization suggestions are created for discovery models with field values that differ from those in the package or pattern rules. You can accept or reject these suggestions.
