    Role required: sam_user, sam_admin

    About this task

    You can manually add or update the override license cost information for your software models and entitlements. When you create an entitlement for the Employee license metric, override license cost records are populated for Oracle Java, based on the data present in the Price tier [samp_price_tier] table. You can update the existing override license cost records according to the licensing agreement. For details on the tier-based pricing model, see Pricing model for Oracle Java SE Universal.

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to Software Asset Workspace > License operations.
    2. Select the target software model that you want to create or update the override license cost for.
    3. Select the Override License Costs tab.
    4. Select New/Edit ranges.
      • If you select New, the lower limit is calculated based on the employee count range in the Price tier [samp_price_tier] table, incrementing the previous upper limit by 1. For example, if the previous employee range is 40000-49999, then the lower limit is automatically populated as 50,000 for a new record.
      • If you select Edit ranges, all the existing records are set to inactive. You can select Activate after completing your updates to override license cost ranges.
    5. On the form, fill in the fields.
      For details on the override license cost fields and descriptions, see Override License Costs.
      Note:
      You can revert your changes to the default values by selecting Restore to default.
    6. Select Save.
