How does ServiceNow software asset management support Software Identification (SWID) Tags? I searched docs.servicenow.com and surprisingly got no hits.

Have you thought of using Asset tags for this?



Software Licenses - ServiceNow Wiki



Managing Assets - ServiceNow Wiki


SWID tags are more appropriately linked at the software model level not the


asset level but they are more than just a tag. A SWID tag is a structured


set of data elements that identify and describe a software product and is


meant to be used for discovering, monitoring, and managing software


throughout its life cycle which is the goal of ServiceNow Software Asset


Management which I was surprised not even one hit.
