Hi @KavanaM ,

The plugins provide the necessary functionalities to manage software licenses, installations, and usage.

The guidede setup and workspace interface streamline SAM processes, making it easier to manage software  assets and tasks. 

SAM Plugins often integrated with other servicenow modules and external discovery tool, providing comprehensive view of IT assets.

Software Asset Management Foundation plugin 

The ServiceNow® Software Asset Management Professional (com.snc.samp) plugin requires a separate subscription. This plugin includes demo data. Depending on your environment, you may choose to request one or more related plugins.

Please go throw the below community post for plugins and guided setup.
