What is included in the License Position Report regarding unlicensed installs?

The License Position Report is a critical tool in Software Asset Management as it provides an overview of the software licensing status of an organization. The correct inclusion regarding unlicensed installs pertains specifically to the number of unlicensed software installs. This report helps identify any compliance issues by clearly indicating how many instances of software are installed without the appropriate licenses.

By highlighting the number of unlicensed software installs, organizations can take necessary actions to mitigate risks and ensure compliance with licensing agreements. Understanding this metric enables the management to make informed decisions regarding software procurement and license management to rectify the licensing gap.

The other options, while related to software licensing, do not specifically address the focus on unlicensed installs. For example, the sum of all rights allocated and the total cost of rights owned pertain to the entitlements and financial aspects of software licenses, rather than the actual usage status of unlicensed software. The sum of rights needed may offer some insight into additional license requirements but does not directly report on the number of installs that are unlicensed. Therefore, the emphasis on the number of unlicensed software installs is what accurately reflects the organization’s compliance status in the License Position Report.
