  1. Can we use one Automation Platform License key on two servers in parallel?

    We are migrating AP to Windows 2022 server. We enter the license key on the new server it shows license compliance -2. Is it ok to ignore it as we are using the same key for a cutover time?


  2. intend to implement an advanced filter within SNOW License Manager. The objective is to identify duplicate license records based on the 'BIOS Serial Number' and 'Last Scanned Date'.

     intend to implement an advanced filter within SNOW License Manager. The objective is to identify duplicate license records based on the 'BIOS Serial Number' and 'Last Scanned Date'. From the resulting filtered data, I wish to retain only the most recent entry (i.e., the one with the latest 'Last Scanned Date') and subsequently delete all other duplicate records. Is it still possible in SNOW?

      Hi,

      yes this is basically possible via an SQL procedure. (Only Snow LicenseManager onPrem).

      If you need help creating such a procedure, please contact your Snow/Flexera sales representative.

       

      Note: You should also think about why there are duplicates in the system in the first place!

  6. How to Configure the AWS Discovery connector without creating an IAM role .

    I am seeking assistance from the community on configuring the AWS Discovery connector without creating an IAM role. Due to privacy concerns at my organization, I am unable to use an Access Key or Secret Access Key. Any guidance on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated.


  7. I just wanted to ask if there is an established or standardized script to start / stop the SLM or Inventory services for an on premise installation.

    We occasionally see cases where not every service restarts after the reboot from Windows patching. Right now we RDP to the server and start these services. We'd like to monitor for this condition and automate a script to restart any Snow services that have not restarted. We can create this script (PowerShell) but are just wondering if there is already something like this available (if not officially endorsed or supported)

    • Hi,

      You can use the following attached files to better monitor your Snow services.

      referenced .exe files can be downloaded from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/pstools.

      Note: manually run the 2 .exe files and accept the EULA before using the .cmd file

      change the $logpath in RestartService.ps1 to the folder of your choice, try to use folder without <space>

      change the filepath in tsMonitorSnowServices.cmd to the folder of your choice, try to use folder without <space>

      Add extra services to SnowMonServices.txt by adding services' name and associated .exe.

      Remove services from monitoring by deleting the entry or insert colon : in front of the entry.

      Using Task Scheduler to schedule tsMonitorSnowServices.cmd - hourly, daily etc... as deem required.

      For testing purpose - stop Snow service(s) and run tsMonitorSnowServices.cmd from cmd prompt where the files reside.

  8. What is the correct way to add an maintenance renewal to an existing License?

    Hi SNOW Community,

     

    I have a rather simple question.

     

    What is the correct way to add a maintenance renewal to an existing license? I suggest that this needs to be done under TAP "maintenance and Support" rahter then creating an new Entry that can then in a second Step be linked to the initial License.

     

    Thank you for the Support

     

    Regards

    • Hello @faaven​  ,

      yes, when the license count is still the same, we recommend to add the maintenance renewal term and costs in the "Maintenance and support" tab under "maintenance costs" to get a history of the costs and to minimize the number of License IDs.

      Only you do an license extension plus maintenance we would create a separate License ID for the additional licenses+maintenance to keep the history.
