Agreement entitlement

An agreement entitlement type in AppClarity provides a structure to license and maintenance entitlements. Agreements can be used to model the contractual structure an organization uses for their purchasing process, or their internal software disbursement process.

AppClarity

AppClarity is a software asset management (SAM) tool that enables you to define entitlements and determine your license compliance position. It does this based on the software and hardware inventory data provided by the Software Lifecycle Automation (SLA) Platform that AppClarity is installed on. The software inventory also includes details of product usage which can be used by AppClarity as the basis for its policy-based software reclaim capabilities.

AppClarity administrator

These users are initially defined in SLA Platform by the primary SLA Platform administrator (typically the SLA Platform installation account).

They are able to set up repositories, create connectors, defined schedules and run AppClarity reports etc.

Application

Synonymous with software product. Also known as App.

Back link

Each page in AppClarity has a back link on the page. Clicking this link takes you back to the previous page you were browsing, and works differently to the browser's back button for this application in that it takes you to the last page you were on in the application.

Bundle

[ISO/IEC 19770-5, 3.1.4] A grouping of products which is the result of a marketing/licensing strategy to sell entitlements to multiple products as one purchased item.

A bundle can be referred to as a “suite”, if the products are closely related and typically integrated (such as an office suite containing a spreadsheet, word processor, presentation and other related items).

Bundles can also refer to software titles that are less closely related such as a game, a virus scanner and a utility “bundled” together with a new computer, or to groups of entitlements, such as multiple entitlements for a backup software product.

Canonical representation

In SLA Platform this specifically refers to representations of software products, devices and processors having all the attributes that they need to be used consistently.

Product canonical representation

Matching

The process of taking software product, processor and device data and comparing that with the data held in the 1E Catalog to find a suitable canonical representation.

If a completely suitable matching canonical representation is found the software product, processor and device data is said to be normalized.

If a suitable matching canonical representation cannot be found the data will be tagged as unmatched and the 1E Catalog will make its best guess at what the canonical representation could be. You can then go through the curation process to either create a new canonical representation or matching rule or both until all the data you need has been normalized.

Matching rules

Matching rules are used to match raw and varied inventory data, which may be imprecise or incomplete, into normalized canonical representations.

Software product, processor and device types each have their own canonical schema that enables them to be uniquely identified sufficient for the purposes of the 1E Catalog and its consumers. As a result each of them has a corresponding type of matching rule.

Software Asset Management (SAM)

SAM is the process by which organizations collect data about entitlements, installation and usage of software and the devices the software runs on, how they use that data to ensure that the organization understands whether they are in compliance with their software licenses and if they are using their software assets efficiently. This data, and the tools used to manage the data, must be controlled and protected because the data is company confidential.

Stock Keeping Unit (SKU)

A SKU (pronounced 'skue') is an identification, usually alphanumeric, of a particular product that allows it to be tracked for inventory purposes. In AppClarity, via the 1E Catalog, a SKU is associated with the license metrics and use rights associated with a particular software product purchase.

SKUs are in widespread use throughout the software industry, where publishers refer to their software using a SKU. The SKU gets added to most purchase orders to indicate the software or package being bought. Even small differences between two software titles are indicated by different SKUs. The SKU also indicates the license metrics and maintenance terms associated with the purchase and any additional use rights covered by the purchased license.

AppClarity uses the SKU data to automatically:
