Hi @akashgujar,

Selecting the correct License Metric and Metric Group in SAMP entitlements is critical for accurate reconciliation and compliance reporting. The key is matching the vendor’s licensing model to SAM’s predefined options.

Metric Group

Metric Group determines the set of available license metrics for a specific publisher / licensing model:

- Adobe: e.g., Named User, Package

- Citrix: e.g., Concurrent User, Virtual Desktop

- IBM: e.g., PVU, IFL

- Microsoft: e.g., Per User, Per Device, E3/E5

- Oracle: e.g., Named User Plus, Processor

- SAP: e.g., Named User, Engine Measurement, FUE

- VMware: e.g., CPU, Core

- Custom: For everything else

License Metric

Once the Metric Group is set, select the specific License Metric that matches your contract.

Hope this helps!
