    About this task

    The SaaS License Management SurveyMonkey integration does not support reclamation through the ServiceNow AI Platform. When Software Asset Management creates a removal candidate for your SurveyMonkey integration, you can reclaim the user subscription by removing the associated user directly from your SurveyMonkey team. After you remove the user from your team, you must update the state of the removal candidate to Closed Skipped so that the user subscription is removed from the Software Subscriptions [samp_sw_subscription] table.

    Procedure

    1. Identify removal candidates for your SurveyMonkey integration.
      1. From your ServiceNow instance, navigate to Software Asset > Software Asset Workspace.
        The Software Asset Workspace launches in a new tab.

        The License usage view opens.

      5. Take note of the removal candidates that you want to reclaim the user subscription for.
        Save this information for later use.
    2. Remove the associated users from your SurveyMonkey team.
      Based on the list of removal candidates that you identified in step 1, you can reclaim user subscriptions by reassigning or deleting the associated users from your SurveyMonkey team.

      5. When prompted, select either Reassign Account or Delete Account.
        Select Reassign Account to move the user to another SurveyMonkey team. Select Delete Account to deactivate the user completely.
      6. Repeat steps d and e for each user that you want to remove.
    3. Return to your ServiceNow instance to update the state of each removal candidate to Closed Skipped.
