Flexera One

Situation:

We utilize many open source and other freeware applications and utilities.

We also utilize many KPIs on a monthly and quarterly basis.

One KPI I create is % of licenses that have maintenance.

Clearly, the Commercial licenses (subscriptions, renewal maintenance, etc.) clearly take their Maintenance from the Procurement info from POs or Credit Cards.

However, I want the licenses I've created to map to my open source/freeware applications to show as having maintenance, but of course, they have no procurement info.

Is there a way to make a license show Yes for Maintenance without having procurement info feeding the license?

I am trying to set up and configure my licenses so that simple reports I create will show Yes for these. I want to avoid kludge things to force fake data to make the licenses show this Yes.

Thoughts?

Hello everyone,

My name is Jessica, and I’m a Support Analyst at Elo. I’m currently starting the implementation of Flexera One within our organization, with a focus on IT asset management and software license management.

I’m joining this community to learn from professionals who already have experience with the platform. I would greatly appreciate any tips, best practices, configuration recommendations, governance advice, guidance on deploying Beacons and Agents, or any lessons learned that could help us avoid common mistakes at the beginning of this journey.

Thank you in advance for your support. I look forward to exchanging experiences and learning from the community!

Thank you! 😊

(SQL Server Express Okay? What is the latest version it has been tested to?

Page 10 “It is recommended that you test the SQL code directly in SQL Server Management Studio” what is the latest version of SSMS the code has been tested in?

All of the examples and code have been written for FNMS. Can you please rewrite all of your examples for cloud?

Hi, I am trying to dpeloy flexera via MS Intune. It is proving diffilcult.

I have

MsiExec.exe /x "{8AF613C3-F0E2-4B82-AAC8-D90BBBFCDF6C} /qn /norestart

for the uninstall. This seems to remove the registry keys, but leaves the app behind c:\program files (x86) even after a reboot.

Is there anyway to uninstall completely?

License is for an application and is Named User.

I've allocated all to all of the user names for the application.

After reconciliation, this reports 4 servers as needing licensed. Each are accessed by a special automatic account named sa_scripting.

The app appears in SAM Optimization Hub - Unlicensed Commercial Installations showing 4 unlicensed.

When I go to the App and Devices I can see the 4 servers that it is indicating are not license.

However, this is a Named User based license.

How do I exempt these 4 servers from this configuration so that I can have a positive impact and remove the negative impact on the KPI report?, or

How do I deal with this situation in general, as I expect many others in my list of 116 apps may have similar issues.

Hi community,

does anyone know why it is not possible to have org data columns in the consumption tab of a "SaaS User" license?

Only a small subset of information is available.

Thanks,

Max

Have Flexera made changes when you click on view documentation in Flexera One ITAM? Previously, if you were, for example, viewing the properties of an inventory device, you could click on the question mark at the top right of your screen, click view documentation, and this would take you directly to the relevant page of the help guide. Now, no matter where you are in ITAM, as soon as you click view documentation, it takes you straight to the Getting Started with IT Asset Management page. Why has this been removed please? It is a real inconvenience as you now have to search to try and locate what was previously readily available.

Thanks
