Creating Your First Licenses
What Are Licenses? In AssetIT, licenses refer to legal permissions granted to an individual or organization to use specific software or intangible assets. They typically outline the terms under which the software can be used, such as the number of users or installations allowed, the duration of usage, and any restrictions or conditions set by the software vendor.
In AssetIT, licenses can be:
Assigned to a User: Allocate a software license directly to an individual to track usage and ensure compliance.
Linked to an Asset: Attach a license to a specific device or asset for efficient device-based license management.
