Hi, We have a particular scenario on AWS where IBM dev/test software is installed on instances that are offered to testing teams to have them deployed across different subnets, but using the same hostname. Also, some instances could run a couple of hours a day, not necessarily at the same time and not every day. Example: DB2_instance1 running on subnets (environments) 10.100.1.0, 10.100.2.0 and 10.100.3.0. Same instance type each (i.e. 2 vCPUs) *Day 1 - DB2_instance1 runs on 10.100.1.0 from 08:00 to 10:00 and DB2_instance1 runs on 10.100.3.0 from 13:00 to 16:00 If we were to count the high-water mark for this day it would be 2vCPU x 70PVUs/core = 140 PVUs *Day 2 - DB2_instance1 running on the three environments at the same time during the day The high-water mark for Day 2 would be then 3 x 2vCPU x 70 PVUs/core = 420 PVUs We have tested FNMS agent being deployed in one subnet only but, we found this approach impractical due to the fact that the software scans can't run during the day (this is scheduled to happen overnight by design). Also, let's say that even if the software scans were successful, there would be an issue due to the potential duplicate records (on this scenario I believe FNMS would report just DB2_instance1 once). So my questions are - Is there any workaround to have the high-water mark (peak) properly reported on the day 2 scenario? How does the dependency on the duplicate hostname affect here? - Due to our dynamic usage on AWS, would it be possible to trigger a software scan once the machines are turned-on? Appreciate any thoughts! Regards, Diego

Hi dear Flexera Community colleagues, hope you guys have an excellent week! Just wondering if any of you are aware of any recent document (or SLO guide) in regards to best practices to design and implement SAM to track BYOSL in AWS? FNMS 2019R1 release notes and current documentation do mention technical steps and deployment pre-requisites but I was wondering whether there is something we could share with our Cloud architects who are documenting our Cloud Adoption Processes. Any information would be highly appreciated! Regards, Diego.

Thanks Markward for the reply! It seems like the proper workaround but I'd love to hear from Flexera whether there are plans to include such Restrictions option to every IBM 'out-of-the-box' metric. Cheers, Diego

Hi dear community, 1) What is the suggested approach for applying restrictions to the license types below? given that they are not supported and I have a current requirement to add restrictions based on Corporate Unit. 2) Are there any plans to support such license metrics in the future? Thanks, Diego. ------- From the FNMS Online Help: Limitations on restrictions The Restrictions tab is available for many license types, but is not available for the following license types: CAL Legacy IBM Authorized User IBM Concurrent User IBM Floating User Named User Node Locked OEM Oracle Legacy Tiered Device User.

Hi all, one of the practices we use to follow at the start of the month is to reset peak consumption to zero on IBM PVU licenses (As per the old FNMS - IBM Practice guide (page 7). So in v2018R1 I used to go to Compliance > Peak Consumed and had this value reset to zero. Now, in v2019R1 such field seems to be locked. I had a look at the Help page and also in the most recent Practice Guide, however, it seems that the “Peak consumed” value is now locked and there are no further references or a requirement to reset this value to zero. So my question is: Could we keep the historic PVU peak with no need to reset it to zero anymore? This would be great given that in ILMT there is no need to manually interfere on the consumption calculations. PS: Please note that the current IBM Practice Guide (Pg 19) still recommends to reset it (not sure if this guide requires update ). Thanks, Diego

Hi guys, does anybody know what specific version/edition of IBM Cognos is covered by the 2019R1 version? In addition, given that IBM Cognos licensing is a bit tricky: - Where are the source files available to be downloaded? - Can a PMR (support ticket) be raised with IBM directly in case of issues? - What are the specific usage rights allowed for the Program? Any official information will be highly appreciated! Thanks, Diego
