Data capture for software titles using FlexNet Inventory Agent

Good day all of you Super Geniuses!

I'm looking for a list of software titles that requires the installation of a FlexNet Inventory Agent due to discovery tool(s) not providing enough detail information (evidence) for license/application management.

Example: Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (ECM) does not provide enough details (evidence) for Microsoft SQL Server to effectively manage the SQL Server license(s)/application(s). Installing a FlexNet Inventory Agent provides enough details for SQL Server applications.


Thanks, 
Jim

  1. Like you mentioned commercial SQL Server when Tanium Asset is not available
  2. Oracle Database
  3. Oracle Middleware
  4. Most IBM Commercial Products especially those that are licensed by PVU/RVU
  5. Any desktop software that you want to capture timed based usage information for
  6. CAL Licenses with caveats (Supported server products for CAL management )  
    1. Windows server
    2. SQL Server
    3. Exchange Server
    4. SharePoint Server
    5. Skype for Business (Lync)

Interest to know if there are more!
