Assigning products to FlexPoint bundles (deprecated)
Available from 9.2.13.

FlexPoint bundle, assign instances of this product to that bundle for improved tracking and to
calculate utilization of FlexPoints.

Important:
Starting from
application update 9.2.30, this method of assigning products to FlexPoint bundles is deprecated. A

About this task
To properly classify the installed software, start by assigning the discovered components to
products in accordance with your license agreement. In this example, the discovered components are
assigned as follows.
- Component 1 and Component 2 installed on Computer 1 are assigned to Product 1.
- Component 3 installed on Computer 2 is assigned to the first instance of Product 2.
- Component 3 installed on Computer 3 is assigned to the second instance of Product 2.

If a component is assigned to a product that is a part of a FlexPoint bundle, and you reassign
such a component, the component instance is no longer assigned to any FlexPoint bundle. In this
example, Component 3 that is installed on Computer 2 is reassigned from the first instance of
Product 2 to Product 3. As a result, the reassigned component is no longer a part of any FlexPoint
bundle. The same applies to a situation in which you suppress a component that is assigned to a
product that is a part of a FlexPoint bundle.
