IT Asset Management (Cloud)
This license rule requires a unique key value for every installation (or user,
depending on the license type). With this option, (called One
(single-install) key per installation), key values are managed on
the License Keys tab. If you only have a few license key
values, you may enter them directly; or if you have many, you may import them in a
.csv file to create a pool of license keys from which to
make assignments. Both approaches are described below.
To assign unique license keys to each installation/user:
-
In the license properties, click the Identification tab.
-
In the License keys area, click
Change.
The Change license key rule dialog box displays. If
you already have an active rule, this includes a reminder that a change includes
removing all previously-defined license keys.
-
From the License key rule drop-down list, select the
One (single-install) key per installation
option, and click Save.
Your license is saved with this new rule, and a
new tab called License Keys is made available on the
License Properties page.
-
Click the License Keys tab.
From here, you may either import a .csv file of license
key values, or add them individually. Skip to the appropriate step below.
-
To import a license key file:
-
Prepare a spreadsheet as follows:
- Only the first column may contain data.
- The first row must contain the literal text
LicenseKeyValue.
- Other rows may each contain a single license key value, which
may contain both letters and numbers.
- Do not leave any blank rows.
- Save as a comma-separated value file, with the mandatory file
extension .csv.
-
On the License Keys tab of the license
properties, click Import keys.
Tip: If you import another .csv file,
its keys are added to the list of available license keys.
-
Click Browse, and select the
.csv file that contains license keys applicable
to the license.
-
Click Import.
The Import succeeded message
displays. You can now click Close to clear the
import area.
-
To enter an individual license key directly:
-
Click Add.
A flyout dialog titled Add a License Key will
display, allowing you to enter the license key value and its expiry
date. Additionally, there is a multi-line comments field (a multi-line
input box where spaces and newline characters are preserved) for
customers with certificate-based keys, ensuring that the format is
maintained.
-
On entering the required details, click
Add.
The license key will then appear in the
License
Keys grid. To view or edit comments, click
Edit. From there, you can copy and paste the
comments as needed. The
Edit function allows you
to modify a license key, and once you click
Update, your changes will be applied and
reflected in the grid.
Tip: If the software publisher imposed
a limit on the number of installations covered by each license key,
you must track these manually. IT Asset Management does not
count the number of times you have assigned an individual
key.
