# Add an asset to a contract

You can associate contracts with specific assets, including software licenses.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin, contract\_manager\(core UI and Hardware Asset Workspace only\), sn\_eam.enterprise\_admin \(Enterprise Asset Workspace only\), or sn\_eam.enterprise\_asset\_manager \(Enterprise Asset Workspace only\)

## About this task

Linking a contract with assets clarifies what the contract legally covers.

## Procedure

1.  Open the list of contracts that are used across your deployment.

    -   If you are using the core UI, navigate to **Contract Management** > **Contract** > **All**.
    -   If you are using the Hardware Asset Workspace, open the Contract management view and then select the **All contracts** tab.
    -   If you are using the Enterprise Asset Workspace, open the Contract and lease management view and then select the **All contracts** tab.
2.  Select a contract.

3.  Add assets to the contract.

    -   If you are using the core UI, use the following steps:
        1.  In the **Assets Covered** related list, click **New**.
        2.  In the **Asset** field, select a specific asset that is covered by the contract.
        3.  In the **Date added** field, select the date the asset was added to the contract.

            The date can be in the past, the present, or the future.

        4.  \(Optional\) In the **Date removed** field, select the date the asset was, or will be, removed from the contract.

            Specifying the **Date added** and **Date removed** fields is useful for reporting.

        5.  Click **Submit**.
    -   If you are using the Hardware Asset Workspaceor Enterprise Asset Workspace, use the following steps:
        1.  In the **Assets Covered** tab, click **New**.
        2.  In the dialog box, select the check box for each asset that you want to add to the contract.
        3.  Click **Add**.
