The Compliance Details page shows the full calculation breakdown for a single product, including general entitlement information, the License and Maintenance overview, usage chart, and financial impact. Open it by clicking a product row in the Compliance overview.
Access
Open the page from License Management, go to Compliance, and click a product row in the Compliance overview.
Editing compliance data
Click Edit in the page header to open the compliance edit dialog for the displayed product. The edit dialog lets you adjust the compliance record values, including manual override of demand and entitlement quantities. This action is the same as selecting Edit from the context menu of the product row in the Compliance overview list.
Compliance status badge
The page header displays a color-coded status badge next to the product name. The badge indicates the current compliance status at a glance:
•Compliant: Teal badge. Available quantity covers calculated demand. A surplus up to the compliance threshold is still Compliant.
•Over-licensed: Blue badge. Available quantity exceeds calculated demand by more than the compliance threshold.
•Under-licensed: Red badge. Calculated demand exceeds available quantity, or required maintenance is not covered. Immediate action is required.
General information
The top section of the page shows general information about the selected product:
•Model: The license model used for the entitlement, for example Perpetual, Maintenance when the entitlement has both a perpetual and a maintenance component.
•Metric: The license metric used for compliance processing, for example Core-based or Device-based.
License overview
The License overview section displays the calculated compliance position in a table with shared row labels and separate License and Maintenance value columns.
The table contains the following rows:
ROW |
DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
Entitled |
Quantity currently available from valid entitlements. |
Demand |
Required quantity calculated from discovered software usage. |
Downgrade |
Quantity adjustment caused by downgrade rights. |
Upgrade |
Quantity adjustment caused by upgrade rights. |
|
Note: |
Usage
The Usage section displays the usage chart for the selected product, showing how calculated demand is distributed across the product's installations. This section is not affected by maintenance calculation.
Financial impact
The Financial impact section shows cards summarizing the financial exposure or surplus for the selected product.
•Balance card: Shows the regular license Balance and its financial valuation.
•Maintenance Balance card: Only displayed when the Maintenance balance is negative (maintenance under-licensed). A negative Maintenance balance indicates that the available maintenance quantity is insufficient to cover the calculated Maintenance demand. This can occur when virtual device demand forces more maintenance than is available. The Maintenance Balance card is not shown for products with a non-negative Maintenance balance.
