I have a couple of questions regarding license reservation functionality in flexera One. I have not been able to find specific documentation that details what it does on https://docs.flexera.com/.
Please point me to any other documentation you have on license reservations. It's a gray area for my entire team and we need to understand it's impacts.

Right, I understand that...
ITAM uses the domain name as part of its device recognition rules to avoid duplicates, and it's therefore most likely required in your scenario to ensure that the license reservation gets replaced with an allocation against the appropriate unique device in ITAM.

I think that the various reservation options are described in this App Broker Evaluation Guide section, and it also describes some limitations related to advanced license checks that may come into play.
Reservations are "converted" to allocations when inventory is collected that confirms that the software has been deployed on the particular device it was requested for. Reservations are invisible from the UI and merely exists at the database level but are properly considered during the license reconciliation in ITAM.

@JohnSorensenDK Thanks for the response. This was helpful.
However, there is nothing listed here that speaks to the domain name being a requirement. Is there any documentation that describes the use of domains in license checks and reservations?
The use-case I'm dealing with is where domain name gathered from intune is always different than the domain name gathered from the flexera agent itself because our devices are not actually joined to the domain. So when license checks or reservations are done against flexera one, reservation checks fail since the domains are different. I've deployed this workaround: Intune Domain Name Limitation and Workaround (flexera.com)
However, it's a bit unwieldly since things have to be timed to run one after the other.
