Often times when software is purchased for an organization, the vendor provides a license key or user ID and password combination to activate their software.
Customers often store this information in spreadsheets on their local computer or on a file share within their organization. This can lead to lost information when it is not linked to the consumption of licenses within the organization.
By using the Symantec Management Platform with Asset Management Suite, a customer can simply extend the out-of-the-box solution and create a central repository for such information that also links to purchase information; individual licenses; and actual consumption of such licenses.
The attached document outlines the necessary steps to add data classes; modify a Resource Type; and create a data entry screen for storing license keys, usernames, and passwords (in clear text).
