Tracking your software license compliance

After you insert all necessary data and create the associations, you can track the software license compliance in your environment.

See Managing your software license compliance using Symantec Management Console enhanced views.

See Managing your software license compliance using Asset Management Suite pages.

You can use Symantec Management Console enhanced views or Resource Manager to check the software license compliance of a single software. In the Licensing Reports Web part, on the Software Product Licensing Compliance tab, you can view the software license compliance report for all your software.

To see the most accurate data in Resource Manager and in the Software Licensing portal, the Software Product Licensing Recalculation Operation Task must run. By default, this task is scheduled to run during off-peak hours. You can access the task on the Jobs / Tasks page, under Jobs and Tasks > System Jobs and Tasks > Service and Asset Management > Contract Management.

To track your software license compliance in Symantec Management Console enhanced views

  1. In the Symantec Management Console, on the Manage menu, click Software.

  2. In the left pane, click Managed Software.

  3. In the Managed Software list, click the software item that you want.

    Note that the software license compliance graphic does not include non-inventoried, borrowed, or upgraded licenses. It only shows the count of purchased licenses compared to the count of software product installs detected in the environment.
