About software license management
Asset Management Suite helps you track software licenses and applications. You
create configuration items for software licensing elements in your environment.
You then associate these license-related items with other information in your
system. Templates are provided to help you create several types of software
license-related items, such as software products, software licenses, and software
purchases.
You can manually create configurations items for software licensing elements.
You can also use a discovery program to identify and create configuration items
for the software running in your environment. You then specify the associations
between the software products, software licenses, and other related items. Reports
and filters help you determine your compliance level and requirements.

About contract management
Asset Management Suite helps you track contracts. You create configurations
item for the contract-related details that you want to track in your environment.
You then associate the contract-related items with other items in your system.
For example, you can create a contract item that specifies the contract details
that are associated with a new computer purchase. The contract item specifies
the details of the agreement and includes attached source documents. The contract
item can then be associated with the computer. This association lets you track
the document-related details that are associated with assets and other items in
your environment. Templates are provided to help you specify different types of
documents, such as contract, lease schedule, NDA, and warranty.
