# Run software reconciliation in Software Asset Management classic

Reconciliation is run as a scheduled job \(default is weekly\), but you can also run reconciliation manually to reconcile software products in your environment on demand.

## Before you begin

Role required: sam\_admin

## About this task

Reconciliation is run for products that have software entitlements or software installs. Grouping and subgrouping are supported so you can narrow the compliance results.

When running reconciliation manually, allow enough time for the process to complete. For faster results, narrow the scope by selecting specific publishers.

**Note:** The classic path requires the legacy SAM module. If the classic menu is not visible, use the reconciliation task in SAM Workspace reconciliation task instead.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Software Asset** > **Reconciliation** > **Run Reconciliation** and select the publishers for which compliance should be calculated, or select all publishers.

2.  To narrow results further, select **Group** and **Subgroup**, if desired.

    Available group and subgroup values include None, Country, Department, Company, Region, and Cost Center.

3.  Select **Continue**.

    The reconciliation process may take an extended amount of time to complete. Once reconciliation is complete, the reconciliation results are shown.
