Use publisher add-on lifecycles in the Software Lifecycle Report

If you purchase an add-on or optional support for a software product, enable the Software Asset Management application to automatically update the life-cycle dates of that product with the extended life-cycle dates of the add-on or optional support. These updated life-cycle dates are populated in the Software Lifecycle Report [sam_sw_product_lifecycle_report] table.
