Life cycle of intangible/logical entities
The intangible/logical life-cycle value pairs represent the overall life cycle of logical assets and CIs as related to their products. A logical or software asset includes items like applications, services, and licenses. The life cycle stage and life cycle stage status values of logical items are visible only in tables related to intangible/logical items in Asset Management and the CMDB.
Life-cycle values for intangible/logical CIs, assets, and IBIs
For definitions of the values in the diagram, see Definitions of life-cycle values for intangible/logical entities.
Service instances use intangible/logical life cycles
Because service instances are logical in nature, they should use the Logical life-cycle value pairs. Service instances follow the same life-cycle guidance as any other logical CI.
