2. Create an entitlement if you don't have any entitlements carried over to the draft contract.
   1. On the Contract Renewal Task form, select Create Entitlement in the Planned Entitlements tab.
   2. On the Software Entitlement form, fill in the required fields.

      entitlement fields](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/bZ1CEfJMkA8hqbtjyRiAQA "Software Entitlement form and related list field descriptions.").
   3. Select Save.  
      You can publish this entitlement after you complete the renewal
      request because this entitlement is associated with an existing
      renewal process.
