Asset Management FAQ's
For detailed configuration steps, please refer to our help guide.
1. How can I verify the number of consumed asset license counts, and will this include non-IT assets?
You can navigate to Home → Dashboard → Asset Dashboard to find the Asset Summary widget, which displays both IT and Non-IT assets.
Additionally, by clicking on your username in the top-right corner and selecting View Plan Details, you can view the consumed license count, which applies only to IT assets.
2. Will the asset license count if the assets are moved to a disposed/expired state?
As per the design, only IT assets in states other than Disposed and Expired consume licenses. Non-IT assets do not consume licenses.
3. I see many probes added to my license. Should I add all of them to scan the entire set of assets?
No, it is not necessary to add multiple probes unless required. A single probe can scan the entire set of assets in an organization if they are connected to the same network or domain. However, the need for additional probes depends on organizational requirements, such as the division of sites or network groups.

Kindly open the CSV file, navigate to the asset, and check which product this asset is associated with.

10. How can I notify technicians when the in-store asset count reaches its threshold?
