Hi,
there are records that are classified as Component, what does it mean? Why it's not commercial or freeware

Hello @scsharath2 ,
Theoretically, the "Component" classification means: "this is a non licensable component of a commercial application". Typically SQL Server Management Studio.
A component of a freeware should be a freeware, and components should be here to warn us that the licensable application has a chance to be on the same device.
The ARL is not 100% reliable on this subtle difference between component and freeware.
Practically, you should consider components like "freeware", which means they don't need to be licensed. The focus in a SAM Project should be on Commercial Applications.

Hope it helps,
Nicolas
