Environment

Novell ZENworks Asset Management 7.5 Interim Release 8
Microsoft Server 2003 Service Pack 2

Situation

The license allocations are not adjusted by the act of creating an upgrade association as a result the act of associating a catalog product with an "upgrade from license" does NOT adjust the allocations.

Resolution

Fixed in ZENworks Asset Management 7.5 Interim Release 10 or newer

Interim Releases can be scheduled to run automatically or can be downloaded manually at https://download.novell.com/patch/finder. The Interim releases can be set up within the ZAM Manager for the Task server to check the site on a scheduled basis, and download and apply them automatically. Please refer to the Help Section details of how to set up automatic downloads if desired.

Each interim release is cumulative. If Interim Release 10 is not available due to a newer interim release being placed on the website, be assured that the code needed is in the later release.
