When the MIE migrates licenses, it must first determine the highest version, within the family, to which you are entitled.  It does this by checking each and every owned entitlement (that has been set to migrate licenses) against the currently defined Managed Software List (MSL).  It checks every version within the family of the MSL title to which the entitlement originally was applied.  It checks the date of release, which is maintained in the MSL, to see the title(s) that have been released prior to the end date of the entitlement.  Finally, it takes the title, within the family, that has the lowest family order (which means it is the newest license that has been released prior to the expiration of the owned entitlement.)

To make all of this work, the following information needs to be populated:

•For the owned entitlement, it must be tied to an entitlement definition as well as an MSL title.

•The date of release by publisher must be filled in for the MSL title (if it is not filled in, the MIE will use the date the MSL record was created as a proxy)

•The MSL title to which the owned entitlement is tied must have its family defined.
