# Create a Software Asset Management Foundation entitlement in workspace

Create entitlements in the Software Asset Workspace to enter your license details and allocate purchased software rights to users or devices.

## Before you begin

Role required: sam\_admin or sam\_user.

## About this task

These instructions are for using the standard form for creating software entitlements one at a time. If you already have software entitlement details entered in a spreadsheet, you can also import them using the bulk import functionality.

When you start creating the entitlement, it is in the build status. After you publish the entitlement, the status changes to in use and makes the entitlement eligible for including in the reconciliation process.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Software asset** > **Software Asset Workspace**.

2.  Select **New** to open the Create new entitlement dialog box.

3.  Select **Fill out the details in a standard form** and then select **Next**.

4.  In the Create New Software Entitlement page, fill in the fields.

    For a detailed description of the fields, see [Create a SAM Foundation entitlement](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-service-management/software-asset-management-foundation-plugin/t_AddASoftwareEntitlementSAMF.md).
