Porting license types

Software License Management (SWLM) provides multiple license types out of the box. It also enables users to create custom license types by using the License Type wizard.

Information related to a license type is stored in multiple forms. In earlier releases, manually exporting license types involved fetching data from multiple forms by building relationships between the datasets. The procedure was complex and prone to error.

Users can use the tool to export license types and import them to other BMC Asset Management systems. The tool also maintains an export and import log.

This section provides the following information about using this new tool:

• Exporting a license type
• Importing a license type
• Import and export history
• Advanced verification of license type import and export
