The Product Summary report, also called the Software Product Reconciliation Report, provides a high-level overview of the liability of licenses assigned within the organization. It clearly shows the areas of over- and under-licensed discovered software assets, allowing you to know where the critical liability issues are that need to be addressed first.

Important information provided in this report:

• Publisher and Name of the software product.
• Versions - A count of the different versions of the given software product.
• Liability SKUs (stock keeping units) - A count of the software SKUs discovered in the organization.
• Owned SKUs - A count of the licenses owned based on imported license data.
• Owned vs Liability - The difference between the Liability SKUs vs. Owned SKUs. Provides an idea of the number of installed products that may or may not have a license assignment.
• Assigned SKUs - A count of the SKUs that are assigned to a given software product.
• Owned vs. Assigned - The difference between the number of licenses that are owned as related to the number that have been assigned.
• Liability w/o Assigned - A count of software products discovered in the environment that do not have a license assignment.

The Product Version Summary report, also known as the Software Product Version Reconciliation Report, is very similar to the Product Summary report. Instead of rolling up the versions for a specific Software Product, it lays them all out separately for ease of comparison of the different versions. It also can help estimate the cost (or benifit) of license compliance, based on the cost provided for each of the licenses involved.

Important information provided in this report:

• Publisher and Friendly Name/Version of the software product.
• License Metric - The type of license of the specified product.
• Software Detected - A count of the software products discovered by version.
• Liability SKUs (stock keeping units) - A count of the software SKUs discovered in the organization.
• Owned SKUs - A count of the licenses owned based on imported license data.
• Owned vs Liability - The difference between the Liability SKUs vs. Owned SKUs. Provides an idea of the number of installed products that may or may not have a license assignment.
• Assigned SKUs - A count of the SKUs that are assigned to a given software product.
• Owned vs. Assigned - The difference between the number of licenses that are owned as related to the number that have been assigned.
• Liability w/o Assigned - A count of software products discovered in the environment that do not have a license assignment.
• Cost to Become Compliant - The cost necessary to purchase remaining license metrics to bring the software product to compliance.
• Cost of Excess Licenses - The cost of unused licenses in the organization. This represents potentially-recoverable costs.
