    2. On the product license's details page, select License Records.
      The License Records page opens. All license records for the product license are displayed in a table.
    3. From the Actions menu, select Add.
      The Add license record panel opens.
    4. Enter the following
      • Record Name: Specify a license record name. Avoid entering confidential information.
      • Unique identifier: (Third Party only) Enter a unique identifier based on your contract with your licensor.
      • License Term: You can specify if your license is unlimited (Unlimited License Agreement licenses), or has a specific count associated with it (Full Use licenses). Select either Perpetual or Term-Limited.

        If selecting Perpetual, specify the Support Contract End Date.

        If selecting Term-Limited, specify both the License End Date and the Support Contract End Date.

      • License Quantity: Specify the license quantity available for use based on your contractual terms, and accounting for licenses used on-premises or on other cloud platforms. Select either Count or Unlimited.

        If selecting Count, specify a license quantity value in the field (default is 1).

      • Tags: If you have permissions to create a resource, then you also have permissions to apply free-form tags to that resource. To apply a defined tag, you must have permissions to use the tag namespace. For more information about tagging, see Resource Tags. If you're not sure whether to apply tags, skip this option or ask an administrator. You can apply tags later.

    The license record you created appears in the license record list.
