1. ServiceNow Product Documentation - Software models in Software Asset Management: This document details the components of a Software Model form. It states, "Use the License Metric Attributes related list to add a new license metric attribute or edit an existing one." This confirms the list is on the Software Model, not the Entitlement. (ServiceNow Product Documentation, "Software models in Software Asset Management", Quebec release and later).
2. ServiceNow Product Documentation - Create software entitlements: This document outlines the fields and process for creating a software entitlement. It shows that an entitlement record references a Software Model and a License Metric but does not contain fields that populate the "License Metric Attributes" list on the associated model. The entitlement defines the number of rights purchased under the metric defined on the model. (ServiceNow Product Documentation, "Create software entitlements in workspace", Washington DC release).
3. ServiceNow Product Documentation - Software reconciliation: This document explains the reconciliation process. It clarifies that the engine compares discovered software installations against software entitlements, using the rules defined in the software model and its associated license metric (including any metric attributes). This confirms the role of the model's attributes as an input to reconciliation, not as a reflection of entitlement data. (ServiceNow Product Documentation, "Software reconciliation", Washington DC release).
