This framework supports solutions such as Hardware Asset Management integration with Zero Touch Mobility and Hardware Asset Management integration with Telecommunications Network Inventory, each providing specific resource categories for licensing.

Key Features

• Resource Categories: Each HAM solution supports distinct categories of hardware assets, such as Mobile Devices, Servers, Network Gear, End User Computers, Printers, Monitors, Storage, and Telecom Network Inventory.
• Subscription Unit Ratio: Licensing is based on subscription unit ratios assigned to each resource category, allowing customers to opt in and pay only for the categories they use.
• License Prioritization: Available from HAM version 10.1.0 onwards, this feature assigns licensing of resource categories to one application based on a priority order determined by licensing cost:
• Hardware Asset Management integration with Zero Touch Mobility (highest priority)
• Hardware Asset Management integration with Telecommunications Network Inventory
• Hardware Asset Management (lowest priority)
• Licensing Model: Specific resource categories are licensed under particular HAM solutions. For example, Mobile Devices are licensed under Zero Touch Mobility integration, while End User Computers are licensed under the core Hardware Asset Management solution.
• License Reporting: Customers can review subscription details and consumption via the ITAM License Report, facilitating transparent license management.

Key Outcomes

• Optimized license usage by preventing duplicate licensing of the same resource category across multiple HAM solutions.
• Flexible subscription management by allowing customers to select and pay for only the resource categories they actively use.
• Clear understanding of licensing responsibilities for each hardware category, helping reduce costs and improve compliance.
• Improved visibility into licensing consumption through integrated reporting tools.
