Key highlights in SLM 26.1.0

1. Report name is used as file name during export

• Exported reports now use the actual report name with a timestamp instead of a generic filename.
• Reduces manual renaming and improves report traceability for audits and compliance.

2. Relative date ranges in Applications per computer and Application installation history reports

• Reports now support relative date ranges (e.g. last week, last month, last quarter).
• Enables saved and scheduled reports that automatically stay up to date without manual changes.

3. License upgrade and downgrade rights enabled by default

Upgrade rights are enabled by default when an active maintenance period is added to a license, and downgrade rights are enabled by default when new licenses are added manually. Both upgrade rights and downgrade rights remain fully configurable.

• Aligns license behavior with common vendor practices while remaining fully configurable
• Reduces compliance inaccuracies caused by missing upgrade and downgrade coverage.
