Linking hardware and software

Once you have your basic data in - the best way of achieving that is probably using a combination of Apple Remote Desktop and manual input - you are ready to link the licenses and the computers.

  1. Go to the Hardware List and select the computers you want to assign the software license to by holding down the ⌘ (cmd) key and clicking them.
  2. Next, select the appropriate software license from the Assign license menu at the bottom of the window, in this example I selected Apple iWork. If you previously assigned a picture to the software you should also see the button to the right of the menu change accordingly.
  3. Press the ++ button.

    If you now click the software button next to it you should see the details for that software, including the computers listed under that software. You can similarly use the -- button to remove the software license from several computers.

    License assignment can equally be done from any other main HSTracker window.
