# Enable or disable software assets

This topic describes how you can manage your software assets. Before enabling or disabling the Software Assets module, note the following points:

* Only administrators can enable or disable the module.
* Take caution when disabling the module. You can always enable it again, but all transaction allocation and tag assignments must be redone.

### Enable software assets

To enable the Software Assets module:

1. Sign in to your account.
2. From the main menu, navigate to **Cloud Tenant Setup**.
3. On the **Cloud Tenant Setup** page, select **Activate** in the **Actions** column. 

Once the module is activated, your account will be visible in the other Cloud modules (such as Budgets, Resources, Chargebacks, and Consumption) within 24 hours.

### Disable software assets 

To deactivate the module:

1. Navigate to the **Cloud Tenant Setup** page.

Note that the **Remove duplicate transactions** option is enabled by default. It means that transactions relating to Azure or Office 365 won't be visible in the Resources, Budgets, and Consumption modules. If you disable the option, the changes take effect after 24 hours.
