When the state of an asset is changed to 'Disposed', it seems that the managed software licences associated with that asset are not released for reassignment, i.e. they're still listed under the 'Software' tab for that asset.  Yet if I change the status of the asset to 'In Store' or 'In Use', it appears under the 'Software Licenses' waiting for a licence to be allocated.

 

Therefore I am confused as to why the asset retains the software information if it has actually released the licence for reassignment?

 

Do I need to manually de-allocate the license(s) before marking the asset as 'Disposed'?

 

Any advice greatly received.
