Importing Software Licenses from CSV

 

Adding license information for each and every software scanned in AssetExplorer application is tedious and endless. Hence with the easy-to-use CSV import option, you can import software license information from your existing database or even from other applications. The License Key is a pivotal identifier to add or update the software license(s). So the license key should be unique to avoid overwriting with the existing ones.

1. Click the Admin tab in the header pane to open the configurations wizard page.

Warning

If there are any failure records while importing software license (s), don't re-import the same CSV file. Instead download the FailedLicensesList.csv from the Imported Result page and correct the errors on comparing with ErrorList.txt file. The Error List file shows the failed software license records along with the corresponding error message. This is to avoid duplication of the software license(s).
