Hi all,
I would be very grateful if you could provide some advice on the following question:
I am trying to limit a license to be consumed exclusively to windows 10 machines, what is the best practice to exclude Server consumption and VMs? and vice-versa for Server license not to consume entitlement from Desktop?
Appreciate your kind support.
Regards,
Victor.

Hi Victor,
Depending on the license, the linked application itself can make the difference in what is consumed, like "Windows 10 Professional" vs. "Windows Server 2019 Standard". If you have the same application on different types of devices, you have a few approaches, each with their pros and cons:
Allocations should be easier to implement, Ownership and restrictions *may* result in a little bit better transparency in why a device was counted (or not).
Best regards,
Markward

I get your point. But to defend Flexera, Desktop and Server are no attributes easily distinguished, let alone technically inventoried. What about these?
