SQL connection credentials

These credentials allow you to connect to SQL Server instances to collect availability, capacity, and configuration data. When you register an instance, you define these credentials; however, you can change them later on the Edit Instance Properties window. 

You can choose between the SQL Inventory Manager service account, a Windows user account, or a SQL Server login account. The last two options require that you provide the respective login and password.

SQL Server license information

SQL Inventory Manager pulls license information from the associated SQL Server. As a result, you can make only limited changes to this information in the Edit MS SQL Server License Information window. Check the Fully Licensed with SA checkbox to toggle whether you want SQL Inventory Manager to prevent the license count for that server from displaying in any associated windows within SQL Inventory Manager. While the value in the Core Factor field defaults from the Microsoft-provided number based on the CPU, you can make a change in this field or in the Core Factor Table. The free-form Comments field allows you to add any notes regarding this license. Make any changes you want to the provided fields, and then click SAVE.
