Hi Team,
Can FNMS calculate consumption for the below products? If not possible out of the box, is there any recommended or alternate approach available?
1. RDS (server/ cal)
2. Citrix Virtual apps and Desktops

Hi,
For Citrix there are adapters available. https://docs.flexera.com/FlexNetManagerSuite2022R1/EN/InvAdapConn/index.html#adapters/XenApp/topics/XAP-Overview.html
An alternative can be, to allocate users, allowed to use virtual desktops & apps, based on AD groups or some other IAM. This only works well for user-based licenses, using deviced-licenced apps in such virtual scenarios is always a pain.
For RDS, you'll need a list of specific users or devices. That could be:
It is also a question of how much time & effort you want to invest in figuring out the last one user/device vs. how to generalize in a comprehensible and potentially audit-safe way.
Best regards,

Hi,
For RDS rousseau@flexera.com has written an article where he explains how to create a connector to gather this info to Flexera.
I think this might be useful to you.
