    You can create software models in both the Software Asset Management classic application and the Software Asset Workspace.

For details on creating software models in the Software Asset Workspace, see Create a software model in the Software Asset Workspace.

    Pourquoi et quand exécuter cette tâche

    Software models are automatically created for engines and license metrics that are pulled from your SAP systems. You can manually create additional software models for SAP products as needed.

    The following steps describe information that is specific to SAP. For general instructions on creating software models, see Create software models in Software Asset Management classic.

      SAP license metric License metric that is used to calculate license consumption for an engine. Examples of license metrics are number of employees or number of contracts.
      Remarque :
      This field appears only when an SAP engine is selected from the Product field.
      Is relevant Some SAP engines don't require additional licensing. Select the check box if the engine requires additional licensing. Software models with Is relevant set to false will always be considered compliant by reconciliation.
      Remarque :
      This field appears only when an SAP engine is selected from the Product field.
      Threshold Some SAP engines allow a certain amount of unlicensed usage before your licence position becomes not compliant. The threshold defines the allowed usage and is specific to each engine and license metric. If your engine usage exceeds your licensed amount but is less than the threshold value, the software model is still considered compliant by reconciliation.
      Remarque :
      This field appears only when an SAP engine is selected from the Product field.
    3. Select Submit.
