Are manual exemptions to consumptions required when a product (Cognos in this instance) is provided as part of another licensed product? I am currently showing consumption of Cognos and have been told the license is included with Infor, therefore, we do not need to pay for the entitlement.
Manual exemptions are a common way to deal with this situation. Other approaches would include:
Configure a license record for "Cognos license included with Infor" that is set up to cover the installation. For example, this license might have a type of "Node locked", and then you could explicitly allocate the relevant device(s) with Cognos installed to that license.
If Cognos is installed on the same device as Infor software is installed, Cognos might be able to be configured as a secondary product on the license where Infor is the primary product.
