Hello Team,
It has been identified that, FNMS SLM team have created few Oracle licenses using SKUs. Hence in the license configuration for these Oracle licenses, applications are not being mapped.
Questions:
1. If license is created using SKU, application will be blank on license configuration ?
2. Do we still need to find respective applications to map it to corresponding oracle license for getting license consumption report?
3 without application to license mapping, with SKU, will we be able to get license consumption report?
Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Sachin MS

1. If license is created using SKU, application will be blank on license configuration ?
Normally licenses created from a SKU would be linked to at least one application. But I can imagine there may be some SKUs where there is no related or relevant application to be linked, so there may be no linkage automatically created.
2. Do we still need to find respective applications to map it to corresponding oracle license for getting license consumption report?
That depends on that nature of the license in question, and how consumption is calculated. If consumption is to be calculated based on recognized installations then the license would need to be linked to a relevant application. But if consumption is determined some other way then an application link may not be relevant.
3 without application to license mapping, with SKU, will we be able to get license consumption report?
That depends on how consumption needs to be calculated for the particular software you are working with. As one example to illustrate, if you are working with a license that is modelled with a "custom metric" type then consumption would need to be entered manually.
