Hi @Murali_Selvaraj ,

Flexera defines the calculated user as:

The name of the most frequent user of this inventory device, over the previous 10 inventory collections. This value is calculated as follows:

• If there is only one primary user linked to the inventory device, this user is recorded
• If there are multiple primary users linked to the inventory device, the most frequently logged in user is recorded
• If there is no primary user associated with the inventory device, the last user to logon is recorded.

The value of this field is automatically generated by FlexNet Manager Suite.

Not available when any of the following is true:

• You are manually creating a new record for an inventory device
• The inventory device is a VDI template
• There is no inventory source (or the inventory source is Manual) reporting this inventory device.

For more definitions you can check out the Flexera Online Help

To add to that: A Calculated User can only be calculated if the original data source does keep data not only of the last login, but multiple logins. Most inventory systems don't do that, SCCM for example, does it.
