Benefits/requirements of installing the Plugin IBM License Compliance for Software Asset Management

[pastrana]

Dear community,

I have a question regarding the plugin "IBM License Compliance for Software Asset Management (com.sn_samp_ibm_lic)". I understand that this plugin is used in conjunction with an authorized IBM SAM Provider (IASP) like Anglepoint, and provides additional metrics such as "Virtual Processor Core", as explained in https://docs.servicenow.com/en-US/bundle/utah-it-asset-management/page/product/software-asset-manage....

Could you please provide more details about whether the IASP program (Anglepoint) is required for installation, or if the plugin can be installed without additional requirements? as I did the installation in my private instance.

Additionally, I would appreciate if someone can share a list of the differences and advantages provided when using the plugin "IBM License Compliance for Software Asset Management", and if it can add value to the existing ServiceNow Discovery (after seeing that ILMT or BigFix integrations won't be necessary): https://servicenow.highspot.com/items/6417f88bdc7834ffe719d45e

I would appreciate any additional inputs on usage and benefits of using the app.

Thanks.
