Authorizing and unauthorizing assets from a software title (2022 Release 01)

You can use Track-It! to authorize or unauthorize assets linked to applications in the Software Title form to determine the compliance status of your assets for a particular software title. An asset is considered compliant when it is authorized for a particular software title installed on it. When you link an application to a software title, and perform an asset synchronization, all the assets on which the application is installed are updated in the Assets section of the Software Title form. For more information, see Synchronizing assets.
