Sam module activated without sam

[Hank Woo]

Hi All,

My demo instance seems like wierd.

I didn't install sam plugins but sam module is activated.

Does installing another plugin activate sam module?

Hi there,

It's possible for the Software Asset Management (SAM) module to be activated indirectly when you install certain other plugins. Some plugins have dependencies that include the SAM module, which can lead to its activation even if you didn't explicitly install it.

For example, installing plugins related to IT Asset Management or other asset-related functionalities might activate the SAM module as part of their dependencies

If you need to verify which plugin caused the activation, you can check the plugin activation logs in your instance. This should give you a clearer picture of what triggered the SAM module to activate.

Hope this helps! if so then click Helpful and Accepted Solution buttons!

Your architect or client might have installed the SAM plugin to analyse and figure out how it would look like work.

The plugins you are showing in the second screenshot doesnt look of sam

it should be something like below

• Software Asset Management Professional - com.sn_samp_master
• Software Asset Management - SaaS License Management Integrations - com.sn_sam_saas_int
• Software Asset Workspace - com.sn_sam_workspace
