Product status
Product status is used to track the life cycle of individual products. The main idea is to have an overview of the company's attitude towards each product from a global perspective, regardless of the License registry or Software Profiles on individual machines. The Alvao system describes the life cycle of products using the following statuses:
1. Unclassified
2. Approval <------> 3b. Rejected
3a. Approved
4. Approved - scheduled for decommissioning
5. Decommissioned
