Assigning products to contracts
In BigFix Inventory, generally all versions of a software product are grouped into one product definition, as in most cases licenses are not bound to a particular software product version. However, for some products the most commonly sold licenses are for a particular software version. In these cases, BigFix Inventory defines product definitions differently for applicable software versions (for example, Microsoft Windows Server).
Follow the below scenarios while assigning products to a contract:
- Product definition follows your license agreement
- Product definition covers all versions, but license agreement covers a specific version or subset of product versions
- License agreement covers multiple product definitions
The following subsections describe these scenarios in more details.
