Application family overview
All versions and editions of an application are together called an application family. In Snow License Manager, the application families are defined by the Software Recognition Service.
The Application family overview summarizes for example the license cost, compliance, and risk for applications belonging to the same family. The information can be used to optimize the licensing within an application family.
To view an Application family overview:
In the top section of the Application detail view, click the Application family link.
The Application family overview consists of:
A graph showing the number of installations per application and the percentage of how many consumers that are covered by a license.
A summary of for example license cost, compliance and risk.
Detailed information about the applications listed in tabs.

The graph shows specific bars for the five applications with the latest versions and editions, and a summarized bar for the older versions and editions. Only applications being installed and requiring a license are shown in the graph.
