You can allocate licenses by device and demographic data (site, department, or cost center). For example, you can allocate licenses specifically to WorkstationA and WorkstationB, and you can allocate licenses to workstations at Site1. For more information, see License Allocations in the ZENworks 10 Asset Management Reference.

Software usage data is displayed on License Management pages in the ZENworks Control Center. Previously, this information was available only by generating a software usage report.

The Migration utility supports Oracle^*-to-Oracle database migration of Asset Management data. This means you can migrate ZENworks Asset Management 7.5 data in one Oracle database to an Oracle database being used for ZENworks 10. The supported Oracle versions for both the source and target databases are 9.2, 10.1, and 10.2. For more information, see System Requirements in the Novell ZENworks 10 Asset Management Migration Guide.

If the Asset Management license state is Deactivated (meaning the product is not active or in evaluation), the ZENworks Control Center does not display the Asset Management features. In addition, the Application Usage Monitor client (part of the ZENworks Adaptive Agent) is not installed on devices. For more information about license states, see ZENworks 10 Product Licensing in the ZENworks 10 Configuration Management System Administration Reference.
