    About this task

    These instructions are for using the standard form for creating software entitlements one at a time. If you already have software entitlement details entered in a spreadsheet, you can also import them using the bulk import functionality.

    When you start creating the entitlement, it is in the build status. After you publish the entitlement, the status changes to in use and makes the entitlement eligible for including in the reconciliation process.

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to All > Software asset > Software Asset Workspace.
    2. Select New to open the Create new entitlement dialog box.
    3. Select Fill out the details in a standard form and then select Next.
    4. In the Create New Software Entitlement page, fill in the fields.
      For a detailed description of the fields, see Create a SAM Foundation entitlement.
