Contract global settings apply to all contract management tasks and features.
■
Master License Summary Options: Enabling the parallel execution option
might improve performance if the computer running SQL Server has more
than one physical processor. Parallel execution of license queries is faster than
sequential execution.

Configuring settings for migrating legacy software
licenses
Previous versions of Asset Management include several configuration item types
that are not available in this version. ("Configuration item types" were called
"resource types" in previous versions.) For this reason, you should review the
user-defined data classes for each configuration item before migrating.
For example, you should review the following software license configuration item
types and data classes before migrating:
■
Win32 License
■
UNIX License
■
OS License
■
Mac License
