licensed features.

2. Select a hardware asset that you want to exclude.
3. On the asset form, select the Exclude from HAM features check box.

   * If the hardware asset belongs to a resource category that's opted out of Hardware Asset Management licensed features.
   * If the hardware asset belongs to a custom model category whose parent model category is associated with an opted-out resource category.
