Snipe-IT - How Do You Manage Subscription/Maintenance/SaaS?
-
I have been using the hosted version of Snipe-IT for almost a year. Currently, I am on v4.2.0 build 3479. I am adding assets as I get them and back-filling as time permits/necessary. In adding licenses, I am having trouble with the how I should manage the added maintenance agreements for software, subscription-based software licensing (especially, Office 365, as mid-term adds will push the renewal date for the entire license class back) and SaaS,
Should I create a new license instance each time I renew? Or would I just modify the dates on the existing license instance?How would you recommend doing it?
Also, is anyone using it to track domain registrations?

Why are you on 4.2.0 that's way out of date 4.4.1 Build 3636 is current. . . as for managing licensing that renew, I just put the purchase and expiry dates into the system, if the license isn't one that actually renews I simply remove it from the system and add the new one.

I will put in a ticket for that. I thought it was older than the current.
Anyway, thanks for the tips. Does the deleted license stay in the record somewhere, or is it completely removed?

@wrx7m from what I've seen Snipe say is that nothing actually is ever deleted.
And licenses that expire are still able to be checked out. I created a feature request some time ago to make it so expired assets weren't able to be checked out. I don't recall if that was ever completed or not. But would be a great feature to have if not.
Also to filter out the "current" and "expired" licenses from the list would be good too.

It looks like my issue went stale and they never worked on it.

I submitted the ticket yesterday and they upgraded my site overnight.
