Regular Optimization of the SAP License Position in IT Asset Management

Optimization of the SAP license position takes place in two separate steps. First, you use IT Asset Management to identify the optimal license position and generate license recommendations. The features that are available for this process are explained in the present section.

In a second step, you import the license recommendations into the SAP Admin module and update the user primary records in the SAP systems accordingly. This "actual" optimization, also called remediation, is described in Remediation in the SAP Admin Module.

In SAP mode, a variety of features are available that help you to maintain and optimize your license position, such as:
