Software
Software comprises the following components:
- Software Insights – understand what software you have, get insights into usage and end-of-life software, and identify opportunities to upgrade or reclaim licenses.
- License Manager – view your purchase history, contract and license information, identify upcoming renewals, and monitor your software spend.
- SaaS Management – understand your SaaS subscriptions to enable you to manage them better.
- Software Inventory – provides detailed list of software currently installed across devices in your estate.
- Software Usage – shows you information about how much the software installed in your estate is used.
You access the components from the Software section of the left navigation pane. When you click one of the Software components, a navigation bar appears that enables you to open the pages directly.
Remember that if you ever installed a piece of software, then you needed to have a license for it. Also, always check the vendor-specific license rules to understand what conditions need to be met for license reassignment.
