Licensed Products and Upgrade/Downgrade Rights
Tip:This accordion replaces the separate Upgrade rights and Downgrade rights accordions displayed for a single-product license (see Upgrade Rights and Downgrade Rights).
Regardless of the number of applications linked to a license, you can configure the following settings for each product through the Configure Product Use Rights pop-up. See Configure Product Use Rights.
This section lists the following properties of the applications and products linked to this license:
Property |
Description |
||||||
Application |

You can edit this on the General tab of the application properties when Local is displayed in the Source column (which means the application was added manually by an operator). |
||||||

||||||
Edition |
The edition of an application. These editions, for example, Lite or Pro, describe different levels or groupings of functionality. Visible on the General tab of the application properties. It is editable only for applications with a Source value of Local. |
||||||
Primary |
This field displays the value Yes if this is the primary product for a multi- product license. A multi-product license covers a group of software products that are sold together as a bundle under a single license. Different publishers structure their bundles in different ways. For example:
To cater for all kinds of bundles, multi-product licenses in IT Asset Management supports primary and supplementary products on a multi-product license. In the case, like the Microsoft example above, of a 'bundle of equals', all the products on the multi-product license can be primary (it is not required to have supplementary products). The one multi-product license covers all the products, both primary and supplementary (where these are differentiated). By default, multi-product licenses have a higher priority for consumption than a single-product license attached to the same application record. This means that having a single primary product installed can be sufficient to link an inventory device to the multi-product license, and in the absence of other factors like exemptions, to trigger consumption from this license in the next reconciliation (for more details, see How Does License Consumption Order Work?). |
