Endpoint Central MSP allows administrators to group software that have to be seen as a single group. For example, if you have different versions of Microsoft Office installed in your network and you wish to view all the Microsoft Office installations as a single software, you can group all the Microsoft Office versions and create a group. This way it is very easy to manage your software licenses. You may have to move all the paid software in your network to Commercial category prior to grouping them.
To create a new Software Group:
Click Inventory tab to view the Inventory Summary.
Click Manage License under Actions / Settings
Click Group Software to list all the software groups that have been created. Click Add Software Group to create a software group.
This opens the Add/Modify Software Groups dialog listing all the commercial software installed in your network.
Specify a name for this group.
Select the software that you wish to group and move them to the Grouped Software list. The software category and the prohibited status of the first software in the selected list will apply to all the software of that group. You can change the position of the software in the selected list by selecting the software and clicking the arrow button on the right.
After selecting the required software, click Save.
To modify a Software Group:
Click Inventory tab to view the Inventory Summary.
