4 SNOW LICENSE MANAGER (8.X) These recommendations span minimum, midpoint and high-end scenarios for server installations of Snow License Manager. Regardless of the used inventory solution, Snow Inventory Server needs to be installed as the inventory data source for Snow License Manager. All external inventory data sources need to report to Snow Inventory via Snow Integration Manager. For specific hardware requirements, review the installation profiles to determine which profile best fits the number of inventoried client computers and mobile devices in the environment. All profiles described in this document refer to resources dedicated to Snow Software environments without third party systems or software (other than OS and SQL Server) running on the same hardware. DEPENDENCIES ON OTHER SNOW PRODUCTS To utilize certain features in Snow License Manager, the following Snow products are required to be installed.

13 SNOW AUTOMATION PLATFORM Automation Platform can potentially face every user in the company, making a wide range of services available for request. With low usage, where few users browse the interface and few workflows are run, the server will not need many resources. When the number of users and executed workflows increases, so does the load on the server. With high load it may be required to deploy additional resources, and eventually to split the components of the Automation Platform onto different servers (web and Workflow Engine). Automation Platform supports changing the after the product has been installed. Consult Snow Software for more information when tuning the environment.

36 SNOW FOR SERVICENOW Snow for ServiceNow populates and maintains the ServiceNow implementation with information from Snow License Manager. The Snow License Manager Web API connects to Snow License Manager and collects information on computers, users, installed software, and compliance numbers (available licenses). The information is then replicated to ServiceNow via Snow Integration Manager: The ServiceNow CMDB connector populates the CMDB with information on all hardware and software assets, and relationships between hardware, software, and users. The ServiceNow Catalog connector populates the CMDB with hardware and software models, which allows organizations to take full advantage of the Product Catalog and Service Catalog features in ServiceNow. Also, it fetches and displays information on available licenses in the approval step of software requests in ServiceNow.
