# Vendor License Renaming

# Introduction

This feature allows administrators to convert cryptic vendor license names into easily understandable, readable names. The new vendor license name will be visible in the License Monitor and historical reports.

If there is Analysis Server, use the Vendor License Labelling.

Apply the configurations shown in the Open iT server.

# Configuring `product-rename.map`

Open product-rename.map in the Configuration directory, which is by default in C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\Configuration.

Notice that it contains instructions on how to edit the file.
Specify the vendor license(s) to rename with the following syntax:
```
MAP: NewVendorLicenseName
OldVendorLicenseName
```
Empty lines are allowed — any line beginning with # as the first non-white character is considered a comment. Globbing is also supported.
Example
```
MAP: VendorLicense512
VendorLicense372
```
This example renames all of the VendorLicense372 vendor licenses to VendorLicense512.
Save the changes.

Open product-rename.map 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 the vendor license(s) to rename with the following syntax:
```
MAP: NewVendorLicenseName
OldVendorLicenseName
```
Empty lines are allowed — any line beginning with # as the first non-white character is considered a comment. Globbing is also supported.
Example
```
MAP: VendorLicense512
VendorLicense372
```
This example renames all of the VendorLicense372 vendor licenses to VendorLicense512.
Save the changes.
