# Revoke unentitled software

# Revoke unentitled software {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated March 12, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Revoke software using Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) that a
user is not entitled to use even if the software was installed by some other process or
user.

## Before you begin

To revoke software using SCCM, you must create an [Define an SCCM configuration](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=t_ConfigureSCCMCollections&version=australia&pubname=australia-servicenow-platform&ft:locale=en-US) for the application, in which the appropriate
software Discovery model is defined. See [Software discovery
models](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=c_DiscoveryModels&version=australia&pubname=australia-it-asset-management&ft:locale=en-US)
[Discovery models and software installations](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=c_DiscoveryModels&version=australia&pubname=australia-it-asset-management&ft:locale=en-US).
Role required: sn_client_sf_dist.csd_admin or admin

Client Software Distribution (CSD) uses [Software Asset
Management](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=c_SAMOverview&version=australia&pubname=australia-it-asset-management&ft:locale=en-US) to identify unentitled software installations. Discovery
detects the software on the user's machine, and SAM determines if the user or device
is entitled to use that software. This might include software that was not installed
through a catalog request or software that the user installed without approval. If
the software installation's Discovery model is associated with an SCCM software
configuration that has an uninstall collection defined, then an administrator can
use CSD to revoke that software from the user's machine without involving the
user.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllClient Software DistributionReportsInstalled Software Not Entitled.
2. Select the record for the installation that has unentitled users.
3. Under Related Links, click Revoke software.  
   This action runs the Revoke Client Software flow, which triggers the Revoke SCCM Application subflow that moves the user or device from the install collection to the uninstall collection. When SCCM performs an internal policy check and finds the user or device in the uninstall collection, SCCM removes the related software package from the client computer.
