# Basic Software Asset Management software reconciliation for compliance

Automated license reconciliation keeps license positions accurate and up to date without manual calculations. Reconciliation runs weekly or on demand.

Reconciliation is a scheduled job that is run at a specified frequency \(default is weekly\). It can also be run on demand for specific or all publishers. For details on running software reconciliation in workspace, see [Run Basic Software Asset Management software reconciliation in workspace](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-service-management/software-asset-management-foundation-plugin/run-samf-software-recon-workspace.md). For details on running software reconciliation in the classic Basic Software Asset Management framework, see [Run Basic Software Asset Management software reconciliation in classic](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-service-management/software-asset-management-foundation-plugin/t_RunReconciliationSAMF.md).

When reconciliation is run, a list of reconciliation results is created that shows the compliance status of software products with respect to discovery and entitlements. Users with the sam\_user role can view reconciliation results.

Remediation options include rights not in use, rights not allocated, rights needed, reclaimable rights, and unlicensed rights.
