Microsoft License Statement file import

Snow License Manager can import Microsoft License Statement (MLS) files. The file must be in .xlsx format, and in its original state (unaltered). The MLS import will import agreements and licenses, and map licenses to applications in SLM using the SKU (Stock-keeping Unit) repository. Moreover, the import will apply product use rights information where possible.

License information is imported from the License Agreement and the Transaction Data tabs of the MLS file. The columns that are used for import are described in the user guide Data Import Field Description.
