active rights vs purchased rights

[Eknath Joshi]

I have a query regarding Software asset management (SAM) .....

1. What does Active rights actually represent?

2. Want to know the difference between active rights and purchase rights ...

3. Is it necessary the every time the AR and PR should be same?

Thank you

Help will be appreciated.

Hi @Eknath Joshi,

Purchase Rights: Total number of rights that you purchased.

Active Rights: Total numbers of rights that you purchased but not retired.

Available Rights: Total numbers of rights that are available for allocation.

Example:

If you have 20 PR for for duration 1st Jan to 31st Dec.

AR will be shown 20 for duration 1st Jan to 31st Dec, after 31st Dec it will becomes 0 as license will be expired.

I don't thing there is any field named "Available Rights", unless if you are talking about "Available Allocations".
