Uninstall Evidence
At the risk of asking a dumb question.....would there be a significant risk to consumption calculations if we were to ignore uninstall evidence? We are running into many situations where we know the application have been removed but Flex is still detecting the install and the only evidence showing up is the Uninstall evidence. Also this evidence is only seen when looking at it from a device perspective. When looking at the application level evidence it does not show up. We have ignored a few of these and it has corrected the issue but I am reluctant to do it on a larger scale without understanding the ramifications.
TIA!
From my point of view, it is always recommended to check the detected evidence and the resulting consumption and, if necessary, to initiate measures that lead to a valid license balance.
If the detected evidence only shows "application residues" and is demonstrably irrelevant in terms of licensing terms, measures can be taken that you have already explained here.
Whether this has to be done on a larger scale depends on the evaluation of the evidence. However, you can and must decide this for yourself on the basis of the data. I recommend here to let this flow in the context of the examination for not recognized evidences, in order to improve the recognition and calculation.Regards, Steve
