Add, edit, or delete a Software License Group

Software License Groups are managed using the Asset Tracking Dashboard.

Software License Groups enable you to:

  • Configure the maximum number of installed copies your Client can have for a software program based on their number of licenses
  • Ban an unauthorized software program by configuring the number of installed copies to zero

Software License Groups use our Software Catalog so you can take the pre-emptive step of adding software to the license group that is not yet installed on any of the Client's devices. This is useful when you are creating a Software License Group for banned (unauthorized) software or when you are aware of an upcoming new software roll-out.

Software License Groups are intended for the categorization of software collections into vendor or product range bundles, rather than create a group for a specific software version. For example, create a Software License Group for all Microsoft office versions.
