License Restriction for Java SE User vs Server

[harryanesi]

Hi,

Has anyone found a way of restricting user licenses for Java on Desktop as opposed to processor licenses for Java on Servers . There are only 3 catergory groups where device type isnt one of them so I would be keen to know if anyone found a way of optimising the assignments without having to manually allocate.

Also there doesnt seem to be any consumption for Java SE user when you do allocate the devices.

Hi,

You could create a business import doing the allocation for you. Using a Named User license, you could prevent FNMS adding users on its own.

Thanks @mfranz  we have considered that but you would have to keep importing when changes occur. I wanted a more automated solution which I have managed to do a work around using the Enterprise Groups.

Hi,

Keeping up with changes is the very nature of IT asset management 🙂 That's why most business imports do run daily.

Is there a logic to distinguish your two cases, or would you have to make the decission "manually"?

Thanks @mfranz . Agreed, however I wanted Flex discovery capability to capture that.

Thanks for the insight has been helpful but I have now managed to do a automated allocation to the correct license based on Enterprise group assignments & using the Restriction policies.
