Setting up discovery when Software not in the ARL

[mdh7768]

I have a  perpetual software license that is device based. It is installed on a device with VMware. There is nothing in evidence for this software. Is there anyway to set up evidence based on device only without creating a custom metric with manual consumption?

There is no discovery agent on this device, although the device can be found in Inventory.

I am using FlexeraOne SaaS edition (not SaaS manager).

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

@mdh7768 - You can "allocate" the computer to your Device-based license.  On the Use Rights tab, go to the License Consumption Rules section and make sure that you select the option named Allocations consume license entitlements.

After reconciliation, the allocated computer will now consume against the license even though it does not have any matching Applications installed on it.
