Assign software to resources

To assist you in managing your software resources, Update Assignments lets you assign licenses to your resource items, or assign your resource items to licenses, individually. You can then view all the assignments for a particular resource. For software, you can view the numbers of total and available licenses.

To assign a license to this resource

Before you assign a license to this resource, make sure to review the Software Assigned list on this page. It contains any licenses already assigned to this resource.

If you have the barcode number of the license

Scan the license barcode in the box, or type it in and click Find License or press Enter.

The new assignment appears in the Software Assigned list.

If you need to search for the license

  1. Enter a keyword (or part of a word followed by *) from the name of the license.
  2. To narrow your search, select the Resource Type of the license in the Assign list.

    The list includes only the Resource Types of the licenses that you can assign to this resource.

  3. If it appears—and you want to search the entire district for an available license—clear the Only my software check box.
  4. Click Find License.
  5. In the search results list that appears, click Details next to the desired software name. A list of the software licenses appears.
  6. To assign a license to this item, click the barcode number of the license.

To remove a license

Removing a Transferable license has no effect on your total license count.
