Creating a Custom License While Creating or Editing a “License Only” Inventory Item

You can create a custom license within the context of creating or editing an inventory item of the type License Only in the Analysis Workbench or from the Project Inventory tab.

Note:Generally you create a License Only inventory item if you know the license for the third-party code or artifact but do not know the component. (You can later edit this inventory item to convert it to one of the other inventory types.) This type of inventory is typically used for groups of files of unknown origin that are governed by a specific license. When you select the license, the inventory name is automatically generated as Files under <LICENSE NAME> License.

To create a custom license when creating or editing a “License Only” inventory item, do the following:

1.

Start the appropriate procedure for creating or editing an inventory item with License Only selected for its Type field. See References to Full Instructions for Creating or Editing Inventory for a quick reference to documentation links on how to create or edit inventory.

2.

To the right of the License dropdown list, click New to display the Create Custom License window.

3.

Continue with Step 2: Create the Custom License for details on how to create the license.

Once the custom license is successfully saved, it is added to the Code Insight database and to the License dropdown list. You are returned to the tab or dialog from which you were creating or editing the inventory item.

4.

Complete the process of creating or editing the inventory item. (See References to Full Instructions for Creating or Editing Inventory.) Once the inventory item is saved, the custom license is mapped to item.
