Investigating and resolving application recognition issues is easier than ever thanks to the new Evidence tab which lists the evidence discovered for a selected inventory device. After applying this update when you see a listing for an application which you don't think is installed, or if you can't find an application which you know is installed, you can view the evidence used to recognize the applications on that device. Using this new evidence view enables you to identify and then determine the best way to resolve any discrepancies.

We are using FNMS 2018 R1 version. How can we check whether the above hotfixes are installed on our FNMS or not?
There is no easy way. You can only check if, what a hotfix would have changed, is there (e.g. newer files or changed code). In case of the 2019 R1 hotfixes, they only changed stored procedures. So I compared stored procedures form the DB with the SQL code form the hotfix. It's a bit of work.
