When Editing the Inventory Item

You can access the Update License Mapping window within the context of the inventory item to which you are mapping the user-preferred license.

To access the Update License Mapping window by editing the inventory item, do the following:

On the Inventory Details pane in Project Inventory, select the inventory item for whose component version you want to identify the user-preferred license, and then click the Edit Item button to open the Edit Inventory window.

On the Inventory Details tab in the Analysis Workbench, select the inventory item for whose component version you want to identify the user-preferred license.

Click the Edit icon next to the Component or License value.

The Edit Version/License window is displayed.

From the License dropdown, select the license that you want to identify as the user-preferred license. Be sure that you select the license from an appropriate license category on the dropdown, as described in License Selections Allowing Access to the “Update License Mapping” Window to ensure that Update License Mapping window will be opened.

Alternatively, click New to create a custom license to map to the component version. Once you have defined the license on the Create Custom License window, click OK to return to the Edit Version/License window.

Click OK on the Edit Version/License window.

The Update License Mapping window is displayed. Its contents explain what happens if you accept this license mapping for all future inventory automatically created for the component version. For more information about the window contents, see About the Update License Mapping Window.

Choose the appropriate option:

•

Yes—All future inventory items that the system generates for the component version across projects are automatically mapped to the license you selected. For more information about what happens when you set up a user-preferred license, see After You Save the License Mapping.

You are returned to the Edit Version/License window.

•

No—This component-version-license combination is saved for the specific inventory in the database and made available in the Versions for <component> window. However, any future system-generated inventory for this component version will be mapped to the license associated with this version in Code Insight Data Library.

You are returned to the Edit Version/License window.

Cancel—Return to the Edit Version/License window.

Click Save to save the edits.
