  • 1.  Asset Management licenses per user

    Posted Jun 19, 2015 10:59 AM

    We have enterprise license keys for vendors such as Adobe and Microsoft.  These licenses are tied to specific Users.  How can I setup Asset mgmt to import and work with users?  It gives me compliance per machine and says I have say 100 licenses and 90 in use. 

    However if a user leaves the company or is terminated how can I assign that license to another user? 

    When the asset managers look at the list of imported license keys, how do they know which license key # to give to a tech to enter in the computer? 

    Right now the import will only allow one version of the enterprise license key to be entered.  How can I assign this group/filter of users to that one key?

    You could create a user defined data class that maps the users to the license key.

    When you have multiple keys with one per user, I would recommend creating a multi-rowed data class with a field for the key and then a field for the user.  The user field can be either a simple string, where you would type in a user name, OR use a Resource Foreign Key, which is similar to an association to a user.  Both user field options have pros and cons.  The string is simple, but people can mistype the name or put in a nickname instead of an actual name.  The Resource Foriegn Key is tricky because the field actually contains the GUID of a user resource, so importing this data is difficult or impossible.

    Just make sure to have a sold process defined to keep this up to date, or the data becomes stale very quickly.
