[. . . ] When a ZENworks Asset Management 7. 5 license record is migrated to ZENworks 10 Asset Management, a licensed product with a single license entitlement is created in ZENworks 10 Asset Management. The license entitlement contains all the compliance and proof of ownership information previously associated with the ZENworks Asset Management 7. 5 license record, including the following: Reconciled discovered products Reconciled catalog products (and associated purchase records) Attached documents Associated contracts User-defined field values for license records that are available in ZENworks Asset Management 7. 5 IR 14 are not migrated.
