Add a local application without recognition rules in Snow License Manager
In some scenarios, you may need to create an application record in Snow License Manager even though no recognition evidence is available. A common example is when you want to attach licenses to an application that is not yet recognized in inventory data.
This article explains how to create a local application definition without recognition rules so it can be used for license management purposes.
- Open Snow Management and Configuration Center (SMACC).
- Navigate to Software Recognition > Application definitions.
- Click New Application.
- In the New Application wizard, enter the application details as needed.
- No recognition rules are required.
- Click OK to create the application.
Because the application has no associated recognition rules, it becomes available in Snow License Manager immediately.
- Open Snow License Manager.
- Go to Applications > Search for applications.
- Ensure that Include applications not installed is selected.
Once verified, the application can be used to attach and manage licenses.
NOTE:
• Applications created without recognition rules will not be linked to inventory automatically.
• This approach is intended for license management scenarios where recognition data is unavailable or not required.
