License policy

The license registration process can be managed and adjusted in order to ensure correct license registrations. By making fields mandatory, adding lists with pre-defined options, and adding descriptions that clearly state the intended purpose of a specific field, the Snow License Manager administrator can ensure that all license purchases are registered in accordance with the IT policy of the company.

The License policy view shows a list of all fields related to a license registration. To add a description, make the field mandatory, and/or add a multi-selection list, click the license policy row.

note

• The task License policy is only available to users with administrative rights.

• Fields that are indicated as Required in the License policy must be entered during license registration. If the information is not entered, then the license cannot be saved, not even as incomplete.
