Question on Software Licenses and Purchases - How do I ...
Ok, time for another question of the day. This time it revolves around setting up license resources. I am using version 6.5 Asset Management and went through the great tutorials done by bkaulins. LInk here: https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/articles/purchased-software-license-compliance-start-dashboard-part-1. The problem I am having now is that when I go to the summary tab, it just seems to keep loading with no data on the screen and then finally times out. I created the software purchase first, then the licenses according to his instructions, but am not getting results. Is it something I am doing or have others seen this issue? I am tasked with setting up the licensing part for the first time so we can monitor the WIndows 7 installs. We currently are not using any license monitoring but I would like to start if I can get past this issue. Are there any other good resources that I could go to, to assist me in understanding and guiding me to get this set up?
Thanks in advance!
Dave

There is a task called
There is a task called "Software License Compliance Evaluation" or something similar, can you please run this task in a schedule? The calculation could take a lot of time if your definition on the scope collection or OS Product data class covers a large set of computers.
I am very interested in finding out your exprience in monitoring software license. Let me know if you encounter any more issue.
Would this be in Asset
Would this be in Asset Management piece or a seperate App Metering piece? I show Inventory – Windows – Inventory Tasks - Software Inventory under Tasks and didnt know if that is the same thing.
It is part of Asset
It is part of Asset Management. Look at Settings section and look for Asset Managemen --> Contract Management --> Software License Evaluation. Or simple do a search on the console.

I found that I am not high enough in the food chain to have that piece listed on my tasks, thats why I couldnt see it... :) One of the main DBA's for Altiris does show it. I will work to have them give me privs.
Thanks!
