Solved: Limit License by Inventory Device Type or Category?

emolinerostemp · ‎May 20, 2022

I have 2 licenses I am creating in Flexnet, 1 is for workstations/desktops and the other for servers/virtual hosts.

Is there a license type that could automatically assign license based on the devices "Inventory Device Type" or "Inventory Device Category"?

There is no capability built-in to do this. Depending on your scenario, you may be able to find some way to allocate relevant devices to appropriate licenses - such as with a business adapter.

In the meantime, do consider voting for and commenting on the following idea which is relevant to this need: ITAM-I-116: Enhanced License Scoping/Restriction Capabilities to help automate/optimize License Consumption
