    Before you begin

    Role required: admin

    Procedure

    1. Use a discovery tool (such as ServiceNow Discovery) to identify software installations.
      Check that the added CPU information is correct.
    2. Activate the legacy Software Asset Management - Oracle Process Pack (com.snc.sam.oracle.pp) plugin.
      This also activates the legacy Software Asset Management (com.snc.software_asset_management) plugin if it is not already active.
    3. Refresh processor definitions by navigating to Software Asset > System and clicking Refresh Processor Definitions.
    4. Ensure that the software models that you want to manage with Oracle licensing are set up accurately.
      See Creating a software model.
    5. Create a software license for your Oracle software.
      Ensure that the license is given the correct license metric.

      The License metric (metric_type) field on the Software License table is a reference field to the License Calculation table.

    6. Create a software counter to calculate Oracle licenses with the matching license type.
    7. Count licenses to determine compliance with Oracle guidelines.
