Metric Attributes - Software Asset Management

[Samantha Sam]

Hi,

We know that Metric Attributes are created atuoamtically on the SW Model based on the License Metric chosen on a related SW Entitlement record.

When I created an Entitlement for 'Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Datacenter Windows', below 4 Metric attributes were created automatically.

Here we see that the attribute values are unlimited for 2 of the records, and other 2 records has some value.

Does it mean that Microsoft vendor calculates the license that way, based on which ServiceNow is creating records with predefined values 

<or>

Do we need to modify those values as per the license agreement with Microsoft.

In general, wanted to understand the use case of license metrics. Hos it works generally wrt publishers.

Thank you for your inputs.

For Window Server 2016 Datacenter, these are the standard product use rights associated with this license (e.g. minimum 2 x 8 core procs). If your agreement with Microsoft is different then you would need to change the attributes.
