Enable Usage Monitoring

You must enable usage monitoring to track the software licenses allocated to, and used by the computers in the DSM domain. By default, usage monitoring is disabled.

You can enable software usage monitoring in two ways:

To enable software usage monitoring in the Discovered Software pane, right-click the software you want to monitor in the Discovered Software pane of the asset or group, and select Enable Usage Monitoring. A new software usage collect task is created and linked to the asset or group. In this case, the Online Usage is disabled by default. If a software usage collect task already exists, the new definitions are added to the same task.
