See what's paid vs free
Use this before a renewal or a vendor review. A flat inventory does not say what is paid, what is free, or which metric the license uses. SIM attaches those so usage sits on the right yardstick.

Hover Product Description to see what the product does.
Free vs Paid splits the estate into paid and free. License Type splits it again, for example Perpetual, Freeware, Subscription and Open-Source.
If the price or metric is wrong for your agreement, change it on Fix how a product is classified. A negotiated price belongs on the version. After you save it, Free vs Paid, License Type and Licensable Products on this report show your figure, not the catalog default.
