Hi @Community Alums ,
You can go through these below points, See if it helps:
In ServiceNow, license metrics are used to track and manage software licenses, ensuring compliance and optimizing usage. When you create a new custom license metric, you might encounter prepopulated scripts. These scripts serve several key purposes:
Automation of License Calculation:
Prepopulated scripts can automatically calculate the number of licenses consumed based on specific criteria. For example, they might count the number of active users or devices that require a license.
Standardization:
Using predefined scripts helps maintain consistency in how licenses are counted and reported across different applications and environments. This ensures that the licensing model is applied uniformly.
Simplification:
These scripts simplify the process for administrators by providing a starting point. Instead of writing complex scripts from scratch, administrators can modify existing scripts to fit their specific needs.
Compliance Tracking:
Prepopulated scripts can include logic to track compliance with licensing agreements. They might check if the number of licenses used exceeds the number purchased and trigger alerts or actions if there is a discrepancy.
Customization:
Although they come prepopulated, these scripts are typically customizable. Administrators can modify them to meet unique requirements, such as counting different types of assets or applying specific business rules.
Thanks,
Hope this helps.
