How to make the Software Complaint.

[akguj]

Can someone please list down the steps to make the software complaint? I have one software i.e Health Literacy Advisor and its showing 0% complaint.

Hi @akguj ,

Step 1:  Check Software Installations Are Discovered

• Go to Software Installations table cmdb_sam_sw_install

• Filter by software title = Health Literacy Advisor

• Confirm installs exist

• If no installations are found in cmdb_sam_sw_install the problem is discovery or your software inventory source hasn't picked it up.

Step 2: Create or Import an Entitlement (License Record)

• Go to Entitlements 

• Click New

• Fill in:

  • Create the entitlement with PPN (Publisher Part Number)

  • Software model → Health Literacy Advisor  (Make Sure Software Model is Mappend to Active Discovery Map)

  • License metric → e.g., Per Device, Per User, Per Named User

  • Quantity → number of licenses you own

  • Contract (optional but recommended — link to the underlying contract)

  • Valid from / Expires 

Step 3: Run Reconciliation

• Navigate to SAM Pro > Reconciliation > Run Reconciliation

• Select the software model or run All

• After it completes, check SAM Dashboard > Compliance Position
