How to get here

Tips & troubleshooting

  • Compliance Status looks wrong. It compares installations to purchased seats- add seats with Add More, or reconcile installs on the machines.
  • The module is missing. It requires the EndpointOps edition.
  • License details- the full per-software license record.
  • SBOM- where installed software (and counts) come from.
