Create licenses for distributed software using CSD 2.0

Licenses are associated with the software model and must be created if you want to track the license for software deployed by CSD 2.0.

Before you begin

Role required: sn_csd.CSD Admin

You can create software licenses in CSD 2.0 for software items deployed from the service catalog by CSD 2.0. CSD 2.0 depends on the allocations available to determine if the license is available for the requested software. If Allocations Available is greater than 0, CSD 2.0 assumes that the license is available for the software.
