Check software license compliance automatically

Applies to User Roles:

System Administrator

You can automatically check software license compliance in the Configuration Management application.

To check software license compliance automatically, follow these steps:

Click Configuration Management > Administration > Software Counters.
Use search or advanced search to find one or more records.
Select the software counter record for which you want to check compliance.
Click Create Schedule Record on the Results tab to launch the Schedule Software Compliance Check wizard.
Select a date for the first compliance check to occur.
If you want to schedule recurring compliance checks, select a date for the next compliance check to occur, and then click Monthly, Quarterly, Semi-Annually, or Annually.
Click Finish to complete the automatic schedule.

Configuration Management creates a schedule record with the same name as the software counter record.

Note After Configuration Management completes a compliance check, it displays all results on the Results tab. Click No. of Rights on the Results tab to display a list of all the software licenses counted during the compliance check.
