        @marcog  - With FNMS On-Premises, there is a Scheduled Task that runs every night on the Batch Process Server (default scheduled is 1AM).  You should be able to see this on the System Tasks page, look for an entry of "ARL Update".

        Also, keep in mind that updates to the SKU/PURL library are published only 1 or 2 times per month.

    Hi,

    In case you want to put a little automation into the import of the libraries, you can save the following text in a file on your FNMS Batch Server, name it *.BAT and run it on a schedule using "Task Manager":

    1. @ECHO OFFSET FLEXERA-BIN-FOLDER=C:\Program Files (x86)\Flexera Software\FlexNet Manager Platform\DotNet\binSET IMPORTPURL=%FLEXERA-BIN-FOLDER%\ImportPURL.exeSET IMPORTRECOGNITION=%FLEXERA-BIN-FOLDER%\MgsImportRecognition.exeSET TEMP-FOLDER=C:\Temp\Librariesecho.ECHO --------- Importing application recognition library -----------echo."%IMPORTRECOGNITION%" -ia "%TEMP-FOLDER%\RecognitionAfter82.cab"echo.ECHO --------- Importing Product Use rights libraries -----------echo."%IMPORTPURL%" -i "%TEMP-FOLDER%\PURL.cab""%IMPORTPURL%" -i "%TEMP-FOLDER%\PURL-Desktop.cab""%IMPORTPURL%" -i "%TEMP-FOLDER%\PURL-Adobe.cab""%IMPORTPURL%" -i "%TEMP-FOLDER%\PURL-IBM.cab""%IMPORTPURL%" -i "%TEMP-FOLDER%\PURL-Microsoft.cab""%IMPORTPURL%" -i "%TEMP-FOLDER%\PURL-Oracle.cab""%IMPORTPURL%" -i "%TEMP-FOLDER%\PURL-SAPPackages.cab""%IMPORTPURL%" -i "%TEMP-FOLDER%\PURL-Symantec.cab""%IMPORTPURL%" -i "%TEMP-FOLDER%\PURL-VMware.cab""%IMPORTPURL%" -i "%TEMP-FOLDER%\EOSL.cab"

    In this file, you'll have to:

    • Customize the TEMP-FOLDER path in line 6 in case you are not downloading the *.CAB files to the C:\Temp\Libraries folder.
    • Remove or comment the import statement for *.CAB files in lines 16-25 in case any of these PURLs are not included in your FNMS license.

    You can automate the downloading of the libraries in case you have an additional FNMS environment that has an Internet connection. A small VM running SQL Server and FNMS on a single device will be sufficient for this purpose.

      Hi,

      I did something else to import the PURL/ARL

      I created a .bat file with the following content:

      1. "D:\Flexera Software\DotNet\bin\BatchProcessTask.exe" run arlcleanupcopy purl*.* "C:\ProgramData\Flexera Software\FlexNet Manager Platform\DataImport\Content\SKU"copy RecognitionAfter82*.* "C:\ProgramData\Flexera Software\FlexNet Manager Platform\DataImport\Content\ARL""D:\Flexera Software\DotNet\bin\BatchProcessTask.exe" run arlimportdel *.cab

      You need to change the path to pass where your flexera is intalled.

      Basically I download the libraries, put in a temp folder, and run the batch command, this will clean up the arl folders, copy the libraries, and run arl import
