Manually managing CIs attached to a license certificate

The License Engine automatically attaches CIs to license certificates, based on company, product information, and answers to connection questions. However, if necessary, you can manually add or remove software CIs from the license certificate. Software CIs include the following CI types: Operating System, Package, Patch, Product, Software Server, and System Software.

To add or remove a software CI from a license certificate

1. Open the license certificate from either the Software Asset Management console or the Contract Management console, as described in the following table.
   The [confluence_table-plus] macro is a standalone macro and it cannot be used inline. Click on this message for details.
   This macro generates standalone content. As a consequence you need to make sure to use a syntax that separates your macro from the content before and after it so that it's on a line by itself. For example in XWiki Syntax 2.0+ this means having 2 newline characters (a.k.a line breaks) separating your macro from the content before and after it.
2. Click the Software Assets tab.
    The Software Assets tab lists all the CIs that use the license certificate.
3. To add a CI, perform the following steps:
   1. From the CI Type lists, select the type of configuration item that you want to relate to the license certificate.
   2. Specify the CI to which you are relating the current contract.
      • To create the CI, click Create and complete the new CI form.
      • To select a CI, search for the CI, select the relationship type, and then click Relate.
4. To remove a CI, select it and click Remove.
5. In the message window that appears, select whether to run a license job.
   The license job checks for connections and compliance.
6. If you run a license job, complete the Create License Job dialog box and click Submit.
   The Company, License Type, and product catalog fields are filled in with values from the license certificate. In the Job Name field, you must enter a descriptive name to identify this job.
