Vendor License Mapping
#
Introduction
Vendor license mapping involves creating a new virtual vendor license alongside the existing ones while ensuring that the correct concurrency is calculated. This process is particularly useful when multiple raw vendor license names correspond to a single vendor license. The new virtual vendor license name should be visible in both the License Monitor and historical reports.
Apply the configurations shown in the Open iT server.

Configuring product-mapping
Open
product-mapping
in the Configuration directory, which is by default inC:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\Configuration
.Notice that it contains instructions on how to edit the file.
Specify products to combine with the following syntax:
MAP: <Combined_Product_Name> <ProductName_1> <ProductName_2>
Empty lines are allowed — any line beginning with # as the first non-white character is considered a comment. Globbing is also supported.
ExampleMAP: CombinedProduct Product032 Product052
This example combines the usage of Product032 and Product052 and will be gathered through CombinedProduct.
Save the changes.
#
Advanced Mapping
This mapping file allows excluding specific products to match general rules for mapping inclusion. It almost has the same behavior as regular mapping except for the following points:
- It uses ADVMAP as keyword.
- It uses a + (plus sign) for inclusions.
- It uses a - (minus sign) for exclusions.
These prefixes are intended for advanced mapping only. These will not work for regular mapping setups.
#
Configuration
ADVMAP: Product_Combined
+*;licsrv
-server01_legacy;licsrv
This example triggers the processing to include all products starting with anything and ending with licsrv, and exclude the specific product server01_legacy;licsrv.
The ADVMAP keyword is required to indicate that the entry is for advance mapping. It is recommended to start the entries with the most general match rule followed with the most specific match rules since entries are evaluated from bottom to top.
Open
product-mapping
in the etc directory, which is by default in/var/opt/openit/etc
.Notice that it contains instructions on how to edit the file.
Specify products to combine with the following syntax:
MAP: <Combined_Product_Name> <ProductName_1> <ProductName_2>
Empty lines are allowed — any line beginning with # as the first non-white character is considered a comment. Globbing is also supported.
ExampleMAP: CombinedProduct Product032 Product052
