Maintenance from Purchases

IT Asset Management (Cloud)

Displays the current maintenance coverage totaled up from all relevant purchases attached to the license. The count is the number of license entitlements that are currently covered by the maintenance purchase(s).

To be included in this total, a maintenance purchase:
  • Must not be disabled (old purchases from Microsoft that include Software Assurance are automatically disabled when you import a later Microsoft License Statement [MLS])
  • Either must be current, or must provide unlimited maintenance:
    • A purchase of current maintenance means that today's date falls on or between the Effective date and the Expiry date in the Maintenance section of the General tab of the purchase properties
    • A purchase of unlimited maintenance must have nothing in the Expiry date in the same Maintenance section.
If these conditions change, you may expect the total maintenance figure to vary accordingly.

To see the purchases contributing to this total, switch to the Purchases tab of these license properties.

Maintenance can be included in purchases of the following types linked to the license:
  • Not set
  • Software
  • Software baseline
  • Software maintenance
  • Software subscription
  • Software upgrade.
