Grouping software license certificates

If you have multiple software licenses with different expiry dates for a software product, you can group all the license certificates to consolidate the tracking of the license certificates. A master certificate is grouped with individual child license certificates. The CIs are attached to the master certificates. However, license allocation numbers are attached to the child license certificates.
