Hello @gotqcorp,
If your issue is with a blank serial number on a device record, then you can check the hardware classes that have been reported in the .NDI file on the device (in particular: MGS_BIOS for Linux, Win32_BIOS for Windows)
Default .NDI locations below:
Windows: C:\ProgramData\ManageSoft Corp\ManageSoft\Tracker\Inventories Linux: /var/opt/managesoft/tracker/inventories
I have attached the Schema Reference Guide PDF - on page 677, the description for the SerialNo column in the ImportedComputer table has a full listing of the various methods used by the agent to gather serial number data.
The PDF is for 2019 R2, so please adjust your version as necessary.
HTH,
Joseph

Hello @marcog, If you check the tracker.log for the device, it is most likely there will be a more meaningful error displayed before the exit code. Tracker.log default locations per OS: Windows: C:\Windows\Temp\ManageSoft Unix: /var/opt/managesoft/log HTH, Joseph

Hello @raghuvaran_ram, I answered this query during support case ##02130901, but I'll post the answer here for anyone else that happens to be curious in future. 'Last logged on user' is currently not captured by the FlexNet agent on non-Windows devices. There is, however, an open Enhancement to introduce this functionality - the issue number for this Enhancement is IOJ-1735856. HTH, Joseph

Here you go. SELECT
cc.ComputerName AS 'Hostname',
cc.IPAddress,
stpub.PublisherName,
stp.ProductName,
stv.VersionName,
ste.EditionName,
cc.InventoryDate
FROM InstalledApplications ia
JOIN ComplianceComputer cc ON cc.ComplianceComputerID = ia.ComplianceComputerID
JOIN SoftwareTitle st ON st.SoftwareTitleID = ia.SoftwareTitleID
AND st.SoftwareTitleClassificationID = 3 -- Commercial

Hello @sibusison,
You are correct, ComplianceOperator's 'LastLogin' and 'LastLogout' are not populated for On-Premises implementations, because FNMS relies on Windows Authentication.
You could perhaps track the date/time that requests are sent to FNMS, but clearly that would be very heavy to manage.
There is a 'LastActive' field under ComplianceOperatorAudit, I'm not sure if that would be of any use?
SELECT co.ComplianceOperatorID, co.OperatorLogin, coa.LastActive FROM ComplianceOperator co
LEFT JOIN ComplianceOperatorAudit coa ON co.ComplianceOperatorID = coa.ComplianceOperatorID
ORDER BY co.OperatorLogin ASC
My understanding is that this will be updated whenever an operator makes a change that is recorded on the History tab for any object in FNMS (anything that creates an associated record in ComplianceHistory_MT).
HTH,
Joseph

Hi @jjoaquin,
'USAGEAGENT_DISABLE = False' is what you would include in the mgssetup.ini configuration file, if you wanted usage tracking to be enabled at agent install-time.
If the agent is already installed, then you would instead add/amend the following registry key at [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\ManageSoft Corp\ManageSoft\Usage Agent\CurrentVersion]:
Name: Disabled Type: REG_SZ (String) Value: False
(For Linux devices, the process is similar, but you are updating the config.ini file instead, located by default at /var/opt/managesoft/etc)
Regarding your other question 'How often are agents uploading data to you App Server?', you can find this information in the FNMS Web UI -> Discovery & Inventory tab -> Settings -> Inventory agent schedule.
I've attached an example from one of our test environments.
HTH, Joseph

Looks like this is a duplicate of the following post: https://community.flexera.com/t5/FlexNet-Manager-Forum/Authorisation-of-local-operators/m-p/143045 @Garth_Honey1, as you can see from the linked post above, your suggestion is indeed the best way to tackle this problem 🙂

Hi @MGrigorean,
Your query was resolved in case #02113968, but I'm posting the solution here too, just in case anyone has a similar dilemma in future:
If you navigate to System Settings -> Licensing, there is a checkbox labelled 'All licenses, with counts only for their groups'. Further information on this setting is available below:
https://docs.flexera.com/fnms/EN/WebHelp/index.html#topics/System_Settings-Licensing_Tab.html

@kathy_allen
I'm sorry but I don't know if other packaging technologies have the same internal structure built into them, i.e. so that the distributed packages reveal which executables belong to them.
Thanks,

@nasirqudsi - You will likely need to work with your internal Network Team as they need to update Proxy/Firewall rules to allow a connection from your FlexNet Manager Server to the new URL/IP Address for downloading the content.

We've find out that having a rule with starting time "As soon as possible" it's enough to have this. Only thing to do when you want to run it is click modify rule and hit save. This cause the rule to run again. I found this the best and faster approach.

Apology if i did not make it clear, user (remote user (fabricated) should never go to discovered device.
there is no option to enable or disable as it should not make it to discovered device.

Hello @iammanzi,
I've attached the mgssetup.ini template file. Note line 53:
;INSTALLTYPE = proxy
Uncomment this line in order to use the fixed proxy server settings from IE.
The resulting configuration will then be saved to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ManageSoft Corp\ManageSoft\Launcher\CurrentVersion] in the registry.
HTH,
Joseph
