Hi @akashgujar,
Please find below checklist to create a new individual publishers incl. models and entitlements.
1. Prepare
- Agree on the publisher name (e.g., Acme Corp).
- Gather contracts / entitlement lists and any Publisher Part Numbers (PPNs).
- Confirm you have SAM‑related roles (e.g., sn_sam.software_admin or equivalent).
2. Check if the publisher exists
- Go to: Software Asset Management Workspace > License Operations > Licensing > Software Models
- Filter or search the Publisher column for the vendor name
- If it exists:
- Reuse that Publisher value for new models and entitlements
- If it doesn’t exist:
- Create a new record in company table with at least Manufacturer checked
3. Create a Software Model
You create a new publisher by adding a Software Model with that publisher name.
- On Software Models, click New
- Fill in:
- Application ID / Model ID
- Name (e.g., Acme Security Suite)
- Publisher (e.g., Acme Corp)
- Version (if relevant)
- License metric / type
4. Create Software Entitlements
Option A – Manual
- Go to: Software Asset Management Workspace > License Operations > Licensing > Software Entitlements → New
- Pick Fill in the form / standard mode
- Choose the Software Model for this publisher
- Enter quantity, dates, license type, PPN, cost, etc
- Save
Option B – Import / bulk
- Prepare a spreadsheet with PPNs, quantities, dates, metrics
- Use Import Entitlement or your integration to load
- After import, verify Matching Software Models / Publishers were created or linked
5. Quick verification
- Confirm a few Software Entitlements show the correct Publisher and Software Model
- Check License Position and Publisher‑level views to see the new vendor included
Hope this helps!
