There are two methods you can use to create a licensed product:
You can manually create a licensed product. You then need to create the licensed product’s entitlements and add catalog products and discovered products.
You can use the Auto-Reconcile Wizard to create a licensed product from a discovered product. During the process, you create an entitlement and reconcile any catalog products (identified by the wizard as possible matches for the licensed product) to the licensed product. The wizard can create multiple licensed products at one time.
Refer to the following sections for instructions:
In ZENworks Control Center, click the
tab.On the License Management page, click
.Click
to launch the Create New Licensed Product Wizard.On the General Information page, fill in the following fields:
Manufacturer (Optional): The manufacturer of the product.
Licensed Product (Required): The name of the product.
Version (Optional): The product version.
Notes (Optional): Specify any notes.
Click
, review the information on the New Licensed Product Summary page, then click to add the product to the Licensed Products list.Configure the licensed product by completing these additional tasks:
Create one or more entitlements. See Section 7.2, Creating an Entitlement.
Add catalog products to the entitlements. See Section 7.3, Adding Catalog Products.
Add discovered products to the entitlements. See Section 7.5, Adding Discovered Products.
Specify the users or devices covered by the entitlements. See Section 7.6, Specifying User and Device Coverage.
The Auto-Reconcile Wizard creates licensed products from discovered products. The wizard does the following:
Lets you select the discovered product from which you want to create a licensed product. You can select multiple discovered products at one time to create multiple licensed products.
Creates a licensed product with the same name as the discovered product.
Creates an entitlement for the licensed product. You specify the entitlement’s description and license model. If you are creating multiple licensed products, the same entitlement (description and license model) is created for each product.
Adds the discovered product to the entitlement.
Identifies any catalog products that might match the licensed product. Lets you choose whether or not to add the catalog products to the licensed product’s entitlement.
When you run the Auto-Reconcile Wizard, you should select discovered products that require the same entitlement license model. As mentioned above, the wizard applies the same entitlement to all licensed products created during the process. If you create a licensed product from a discovered product that does not fit the entitlement license model, you need to manually edit the licensed product’s entitlement and change its license model.
To create licensed products from discovered products:
In ZENworks Control Center, click the
tab.On the License Management page, click
.In the Licensed Products panel, click
to launch the Auto-Reconcile Wizard. Complete the wizard by using information from the following table to fill in the fields:

This page lists all the discovered products that meet the filter criteria defined on the previous page. The first column displays the name of the licensed product that will be created. The second column displays the discovered product that will be associated with the licensed product. The third column displays any catalog products that the wizard thinks are candidates for association with the licensed product. By default, all licensed products are selected and will be created. You can deselect any licensed products you don’t want created. You can also deselect any catalog products that you don’t want associated with a licensed product. |
Destination Folder |
Lets you specify where in the Licensed Products folder hierarchy you want to place the new licensed products. The field defaults to the current folder (the folder from which you launched the Auto-Reconcile Wizard). To specify another folder, click |
License Entitlements |
Every licensed product must have at least one entitlement. This page lets you specify a description and license model for the entitlement that will be added to the licensed products you are creating. Description: Add a description for the license entitlement. The entitlement description serves as a name for the entitlement and identifies it in the licensed product’s entitlement list. The description can reflect the product name and version, the license model, the license type, or any other information that makes sense to you. License Model: Select one of the following license models:
