FNMS 2021R1 Cloud License model field

[Ronny_OO7]

Hello Flexera

FNMS now contains a new field called :Cloud License model.

My question Now is how is this data fieled filled? Is this only done automaticly ? Or is for example 

byol/payg coming from the Azure connector (seems not to be the case)

If it is only manually: Is Flexera planning to automate this with data coming from their connectors?

Best Regards

Hi @Ronny_OO7,

with reference to the documentaion (https://docs.flexera.com/FlexNetManagerSuite2021R1/EN/WebHelp/index.html#topics/App-Devices_InvDev.html) it seems to be part of the Azure connector

Inventoried cloud license model

May show the kind of cloud licensing reported in inventory. In many cases, this value remains blank, and is only populated with a value for inventory devices that have been identified through the Azure connector, and only when you have configured the devices within Azure to take advantage of the Azure Hybrid Benefit.

Best, Dennis

Hi Dennis,

Thanks! But what about other providers and the other options you have in this field?

I'm not sure whether any further automation around this field is specifically planned beyond what @dennis_reinhardt has noted, but I did a search for anything in this space in Flexera Ideas and didn't find anything. If you have particular cloud providers or scenarios where additional automation may help then it would be great to get an idea logged!
