To get some automation into the allocations you can configure the license container for Java SE Desktop with metric User, and the Java SE as Oracle Processor. With this you only need to allocate servers to the Java SE container, that you detect in the Desktop container. Otherwise you need to built a business adapter ... View more

Hi Do you mean vSphere instead of IBM websphere? IBM websphere we license by PVU and meassure with ilmt, but fnms has also support ootb for PVU. I think there exist reports for different vcenter version, but not sure. Default oracle is that you need to license all vcenters in your environment on todays supported vcenter versions. That would be very costly for most companies. Either you take the oracle fight, negotiate vmware terms or move to the cloud with a different metric ... View more

Hi Good that the Acrobat detection is getting improved. However we are still having issues with very strange inventory results even after this ARL update, maybe due to that we need to manually ignore evidences from ARL. Right now the Acrobat DC (2022) continues pro has acrobat.exe as "required" file evidence, that basically link all STD, PRO and Reader to that application. For Acrobat DC (2022) continues standard the acrobat.exe is "not for recognition" Do we need to ignore the linked file evidences in the ARL to get this to work? ... View more

We use the ndupload for special network segments to upload the NDI's with only 80/443 open. The thing that goes wrong in your statement is that you are trying to use SMB instead of HTTP. A powershell script example    $ErrorActionPrecdference = "SilentlyContinue" $ndupload = ${env:ProgramFiles(x86)} +'\Managesoft\Uploader\NDupload.exe' $inventoryfiles =' C:\local\datareplication\*.ndi.gz' $beaconserver ='http://beaconserver/ManagesoftRL/Inventories' $logfile =' C:\local\myuploaderlogfile.log' & $ndupload -f "$inventoryfiles " -o UploadLocation="$beaconserver " -o LogFile="$logfile " -o SourceRemove=true ...

Even though you are running an old FNMS version on the application server, use a newer version of the agent on your M1 Macs anyway. You might have issues that you do not see logged in user, serial number, and maybe some more.. but the application inventory should work anyway.  ... View more

Hi @Sunera For agents that are not working you can try to remote schedule/remote trigger task to update the policy. Mgspolicy.exe and some suitable arguments Another way is to export a functional registry and push that to the servers and wait for a restart or trigger restart of the services ... View more

Hi My best recommendation is really GPO/SCCM, those that had other methods usually only solved the current estate and missed out new servers or when they did large migrations. I have attached a script that show how you can trigger a remote process for all devices within an OU, it will not work out of the box and you need to tweak it for your needs. ... View more

Hi @Srinii0088  To be able to inventory docker containers, the easiest is to install the flexnet agent onto the host machine. It will automatically inject an inventory agent into the containers, if you have enabled the setting in discovery&inventory -> inventory settings ... View more

Hi @kclausen  Yes, this issue is only for the 64-bit version, which is the new unified installer. However 32bit gets auto upgraded to 64-bit, there are some criteria that can stop an auto-upgrade to happen. We are working on a test implementation of importing the Adobe registry keys as a workaround until a common fix is available in ARL update. ... View more

Hi We are currently only using the docker inventory, but are in the planning of deploying the Kubernetes agent, so below is my understanding but maybe not the full truth. Docker Inventory / Docker inventory light Features by Release — FlexNet Manager Suite 2014-2022 R1 On-Premises Edition - Take inventory of any Linux container software for CI/CD (flexera.com) Docker container inventory activated in the settings basically injects and runs the inventory process for all publishers. However to my knowledge no license reconciliation process exists in current releases, only for inventory.  The CI/CD docker inventory works in similair way as Kubernetes light. Kubernetes & Kubernetes Light Gathering FlexNet Inventory IT Asset Management - Two FlexNet Kubernetes Agents (flexera.com) The full kubernetes agent performs inventory as normal agent, license reconciliation for IBM license service. The Light agent performs inventory based on annotations and integration with IBM license service. So with this agent you will not get the full inventory, but has the advantages to use less privilige account etc. License reconciliation To my understanding for kubernetes it will only reconcile IBM License Manager data for license consumption calculations. All other are only for inventory tracking. ... View more

For an easy switch for all agents, I recommend to create DNS alias for all beacons. In the beacon configuration xml file you can also set that the beacons should use the dns alias instead of a-record. For this to work with https in a good manor, then the certificates also need to have the alias. Then wait until agents update their policy. Then you can easily switch all agents towards the new infrastructure pointing the aliases to the new servers ... View more

@nrousseau1 After the new ARL it looks better, however still need to be extended for the 22.xx releases of Acrobat DC Reader, Standard and Pro. I have mailed you some screenshots and Swid from our FRL-Offline installations, and the NDI files are included in the support case. ... View more
