Hi all,
we are on our way to implement the Software Asset Management Professional plugin in our Instance.
Right now i am facing an issue, that multiple versions are showing up on the Software Installs of a System.
i E . for Google Chrome:
What is a the best practice to get rid of these "old versions" and just have main lasted version being displayed ?
Also with the SAMP , the Normalization is coming on connected to the Content Library at Service Now. (auto normalized)
I have created Software Models for Visio (2013, 2016, Prof and Standard) , (Discovery Model auto normalized from SN)
When i run a reconciliation, the produc results are showing each language as a seperate install and even worse, also each different version as a seperate install (see below)
I did the SAMP Training 2 weeks ago, but this looks all different if you have a "clean CMDB"
We are running on London Patch 2 and using SCCM for Windows Systems as being the source for Software installs and Discovery for any SSH devices. Right now i got 10million+ records in the cmdb_sam_sw_install table.
seeking for help.
Thanks in advance
Frank

Hi Frank,
I think it might be useful to hold a session with you to see your system first hand. I'm also interested in if you have a Partner or ServiceNow PS assisting you in your deployment efforts.

Hi Frank,
Multiple software installs you're noticing, are they on different machines or same machine? Also I noticed the publisher field is not populated, thats kind a odd, do you know if this information is coming from SCCM but not captured during transformation?
Thanks,
