Recommendation to buy rights for unlicensed installations

Hello,

 

At work, we are running SAM Pro under Tokyo. I have a software installed, but not entitlements because we need to buy licenses. Is there any field that shows how many rights we need to buy based on hardware configuration of the server (this information is available under the CI, # or cores, if it's virtual or physical server, etc). I can see that SAM Pro provides the Remediation Options if we have entitlements and it shows 'Actionable rights' in Software Asset Workspace, which helps to figure out how many licenses we need to be compliant, but it seems this information is not provided if there are no entitlements at all. Is it so? Any idea on how to get the # of rights needed? Thanks in advance.

This is correct. Because you don't have any entitlements, SAM Pro has no way of knowing what the license metric is for a discovered software installation and therefore cannot calculate the number of rights required.

Thanks!
