    • Flexera support will probably ask you to raise a product improvement suggestion at the ideas board (https://ideas.snowsoftware.com/). Apart from that, there are two options:

       

      1) If you group by the column, the rows containing blank values will be at the top - expand that.

      2) Export the results and work in Excel outside of SLM.

  2. Hi, how to get open source libraries report from Snow License Manager?

    We have recently upgrade our Sonar Qube licence to include Sonar Qube Advanced security.

    It offers an option to monitor open source libraries used in applications.

    In order for us to implement we would need a list of all libraries approved/in use. Can Snow License Manager be used as a source of this info?

    • It really depends how those libraries materialize on your devices/servers.

      When it comes to detection you have 2 routes you can take:

      • Custom rules: If you know the files that contain those libraries but need a quick temporary detection, you can create your own detection rules, directly from the SLM console (not the web interface, rather the console on the SLM server)
      • Snow DIS team (preferred): If you want to help the community, send a request to Snow's DIS team and they will add the detection rules to the global database so that we all benefit

      For any of those 2 options, you will need to ensure that:

      • your Snow Agents are configured to scan the folders where those libraries are
      • your Snow Agents are configured to report on the files extensions for those libraries (maybe *.dll if those libraries are compiled). Beware that scanning for DLL files may increase significantly the number of files reported and may have a serious impact on the size of your Inventory and SLM databases and DUJ running times => Run a test on a subset of Snow Agents first before you update your config file on all devices.
      • your SLM settings allow those file extensions through from the Inventory server (See the SLM console under "Settings")

  3. Licensing Windows Server at the VM Level in Snow

    We are unable to license Windows Server at the individual VM level, as Microsoft requires licensing at the host level for this product. SNOW’s current model appears to suggest VM-level licensing as an option, which could lead to inaccurate compliance reporting. Can you clarify how SNOW determines the appropriate licensing metric for these products and whether this can be adjusted to reflect Microsoft’s licensing rules?

    • Just for future readers, to give some context: Licensing per VM is not prohibited by Microsoft, that is not 100% clear from @EvanLosh​ 's comments above.

      The Microsoft Terms, as of today for Windows Server per VM:

      imageYou are given the choice to cover either:

      • the host (2 VMs covered each time the whole host is covered, min 8 core licenses assigned)
      • the VMs individually according to the terms in the screen capture above
