Eventually a computer gets too old for us to use or <br>is deemed not repairable. In our old inventory system (Which we are <br>still running simultaneously as well.) we can change the <br>classification of these machines to "decommissioned". For <br>accounting, historical and work order purposes we track those machines <br>for a time even after they are sent off to recycling. It would be <br>great if Casper had some sort of classification for this so that you <br>could leave it in inventory but not take up a license (managed or <br>unmanaged.) I'm not sure how practical this would be, but it would be <br>handy for us. These decommissioned assets would not need much <br>information on them. Just asset number, make and model and serial <br>number. Maybe some date information. Just bare bones basics. I'm not <br>sure if this is something anyone else would use or not but it would be <br>very handy for us.<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Casper mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Casper@list.jamfsoftware.com">Casper@list.jamfsoftware.com</a><br><a href="http://list.jamfsoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/casper">http://list.jamfsoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/casper</a><br></div></div></span></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
