Software Internal Allocations

A software internal allocation describes how your organization is internally approved to use a software asset, as specified in your software license agreement. For example, a license can stipulate that the software can be used only on a particular computer, or that a limited number of users can use the software at one time.

You track and maintain allocations in CA APM using an allocation record. Define an allocation record for any software asset in your repository.

CA APM lets you record an allocation in the following ways:

• For a software asset, you can add, edit, or delete a relationship to a hardware asset on which the software is internally approved for use.
• For a hardware asset, you can edit or delete information about an allocation that is specific to that hardware asset.

Note: Internal allocations are not legal restrictions. Legal information, including software usage constraints, can be maintained in legal document records and in CA SAM.
