In a couple of markets, where we have integrated the ILMT data feed we're seeing a discrepancy in the number of devices being returned.
So for example: ILMT is showing 1000 devices, and the Flexera import data is showing 1500 devices. When importing these devices, all 1500 are returned in FNMS. As expected the additional 500 devices are from decommed devices that have been removed from ILMT over a number of years.
This observation about how FNMS behaves sounds accurate. IBM PVU license consumption is based on a peak of consumption across a set of devices calculated at some point in the past. To support this calculation, FNMS imports details of old (and possibly no longer active) devices from ILMT.
