The intangible/logical life-cycle value pairs represent the overall life cycle of logical assets and CIs as related to their products. A logical or software asset includes items like applications, services, and licenses. The life cycle stage and life cycle stage status values of logical items are visible only in tables related to intangible/logical items in Asset Management and the CMDB.

## Life-cycle values for intangible/logical CIs, assets, and IBIs {#csdm-lifecycle-logical__section_cvn_gvg_4tb}

For definitions of the values in the diagram, see [Definitions of life-cycle values for intangible/logical entities](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/~5OTmEcS_ElxxnMP29QTFg "The intangible/logical life-cycle value pairs represent the overall life cycle of logical assets and CIs as related to their products. A logical or software asset includes items like applications, services, and licenses. The life cycle stage and life cycle stage status values of logical items are visible only in tables related to intangible/logical items in Asset Management and the CMDB.").

Hinweis:  
The \[life_cycle_control\] table uses the type of CI (tangible/physical, document and contract, location and so on) to determine which <var class="keyword varname">life cycle stage status</var> values are available for each <var class="keyword varname">life cycle stage</var>.

## Service instances use intangible/logical life cycles {#csdm-lifecycle-logical__section_cm3_hqx_fwb}

Because service instances are logical in nature, they should use the Logical life-cycle value pairs. Service instances follow the same life-cycle guidance as any other logical CI.

See [Use Service instance (Application Services) dashboard to monitor health](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/1VSpKvrLXKA3GdVoCWNgSg "Use insights from the Service instance dashboard to reduce the number of incomplete Service instances by populating them and adding missing data. To use service instances effectively, ensure that service instances are fully configured and are populated.").
