Licenses

The Licenses page shows every license your organization owns across all applications in one place. Use it to track license quantities, costs, and utilization, and to connect licenses with the contracts they belong to.

How licenses work in Zluri

A license record is an entry in your organization's license inventory. Each license record comes from one of two sources:

• Integration: Zluri detects the license through a direct integration with the application.
• Manual: Users enter license details manually when an integration can't provide them, for example from a contract.

A license record exists independently of any contract until a user maps it to a contract line item. Mapping connects the license to the purchase it belongs to, so Zluri attributes its cost, renewal date, and utilization correctly. Each license record maps to only one contract line item at a time, across all contracts.

License types

Zluri supports two license types:

• Seat Based: Your organization buys and pays for these licenses based on the number of users.
• Quantity Based: The vendor prices these licenses on a specific application metric rather than on users.

Active license groups

A single license can contain multiple groups, each covering a different date range. The Licenses page shows only the groups active on the current date, and Zluri attributes cost only for those active groups.

For example, a license has one group from January 1 to August 1 and a second group from August 1 to December 31. On September 28, only the second group is active, so the page shows that group's quantity and cost.

When multiple groups are active at the same time, the page shows the average cost per license and the combined quantity of all active groups.

Mapped licenses

When a license is mapped to a contract line item, the contract's Quantity and Cost/License values take precedence. Zluri replaces the license's values with the contract's values.

License actions

Each license row has an action menu (⋮) at the end of the row, with two options:

Map a license to a contract

Map an integration-detected license to the contract line item it was purchased under. This links the license's cost and renewal date to the actual purchase.

Steps

1. On the license row, click ⋮ > Map to contract. The Map to Contract dialog opens with a summary of the license.
2. Under Choose the contract to map it to, search for and select the contract. Each result shows an Active or Inactive status tag.
3. Review the contract summary to confirm you picked the right contract.
4. Under Choose the line item to map it to, select the line item.
5. Click Map to contract.

Zluri updates the license's Source and contract link in the license table right away.

📘

No eligible line items

Zluri lists only the line items eligible for mapping. If none qualify, the dialog explains why. Turn on Show integration line items to view line items excluded by default.

For more on how mapping works, see License Mapping.
