Create product install conditions

Create product install conditions in the Software Asset Workspace that apply across all software models of a product during reconciliation.

Before you begin

Installs that do not meet the required product install conditions will be included in the reconciliation process; however, they are likely to be flagged as unlicensed.

To create product install conditions, you must request and activate the Software Asset Workspace (com.sn_sam_workspace) plugin. For details on requesting and activating the Software Asset Workspace (com.sn_sam_workspace) plugin, see Request Software Asset Management.
