Hi @altahobi, If you are unable to find the UAT org in the drop down, then it could be missing as part of the transition. (It was for us) If that is the case, it's just a call into Support to add your UAT tenant. Ben

Hi @kclausen Apologies probably bad terminology with 'calculate' I am aware that FNMS is only displaying the data retrieved from M365. Obviously in a large organisation such as mine access to Admin M365 is heavily restricted, and simply not going to happen for something like this. I guess there is no other way to fully understand what is happening? Ben

Hi @jq3i4h9u 👋 , So with the current connector, it pulls down purchased, consumed, allocated and used - as shown below and what I would ultimately expect. However it is typically SAM best practise to add the purchase history to the licence, which was really my question here if there was any way to do that without increasing the licence count. As if I add the purchase history to the licence then this is counted as additional licences. Which is not my end goal here. Ben

Hi Guys, 👋 Does anyone have any insight how FNMS calculates the M365 usage data via the default connector? The reason for the ask, is that we are looking to carry out a cleanup activity of our E3 licences and would be looking at FNMS to provide the underlying data for this. When I have checked my usage data, it is showing that I last accessed M365 Monday 22nd. Now potentially I put that down to that typically my device is left on. However when checking a number of colleagues that carry the full shutdown and start-up activity every day, they are also showing a last accessed M365 as of Monday 22nd. The M365 connector is run daily. Any thoughts would be appreciated:) Ben

Hi @mfranz . Okay understood - that was my thought that FNMS currently does not have the capability to carry out this activity. I'll have to ponder over some thoughts that I currently have. Ben

Hi Guys 👋 , Hey Guys, I hope you are well. We currently retrieve data on our M365 applications via the Flexera connector. How should we manage the entitlement in the tool, so for example the connector draws down our licence count for Project and Visio subscriptions. How do we add our purchase entitlement for said licences? As when I have added our purchase history this has then incorrectly increased our licence count. Any thoughts? Ben

Hi @ChrisG , 👋 Okay understood - I had a feeling that's pretty much how it would work, and we can validate on device name and/or serial number. Would we be able to push up the status data from the CMDB via a business adapter and a custom field in IT Asset also? Ben

Hi @ChrisG 👋 , We would be retrieving the device status from the CMDB, which will be in the form of a .csv file. Ben

Hey Guys, In IT Asset Management, is there any simple way of automating the change of status for a device? Via a Business Adapter for example? The scenario is when devices go back into stock for leavers/hot swaps etc, we ignore this device and then manual activate when the device appears back online. Ideally looking to automate this process...any thoughts? Ben

Hi Guys 👋 , Any advice on the following scenario, would be great... I am currently looking to re-engineer our IT Asset/FNMS configuration to remove a number of manual tasks we currently have to undertake on a regular basis. Our Flexera inventory agents have had the ability to report into any beacon disabled, so they only report into a beacon as per our configuration. Does IT Asset/FNMS currently have the ability to assign a location to a beacon, and any agents that report into that beacon will have the correct location appended to the device? So for example a Canadian device will route through the local Canada beacon and have Canada appended to the location. Conversely a UK device would route through to the local UK beacon and report as belonging to the UK. Would assigning subnets to an inventory beacon and a location to the beacon would that cater for this scenario? Any thoughts will be appreciated. Ben

Hi @egonzalez, Okay that's great detail. So if I need to grant a user access to IT Asset Management, should the process be onboard them to Flexera One, then onboard them to FNMS? Does this send out two emails to the user, pointing to log into FNMS also. Or If I onboard them to Flexera One with the FNMS access, does this set up the user on FNMS, and then I need to provide further granular access to the end user - with only one email from the system?

Hi Guys, 👋 Is there any documentation anywhere to explain how to assign users in Flexera One, and the detail on what the permissions allow? For example, if I need to onboard a new user to IT Asset, should I add them to Flexera One and then IT Asset, however they should not have access to IT Visibility. Ideally I would need guidance on how to perform this activity manually, and also via SSO. Ben

Hi @steven_donovan1 👋 , Was there any rationale from the customer why they would/wouldn't add the agent to the EC2 instances? For me when it comes to a number of queries surrounding cloud - it really depends what you are looking to inventory and get out of the tool v how the environment operates. So if the system is autoscaling (depending if this horizontal or vertical) and it's carrying this activity out over hours rather than days then potentially you will not have an accurate inventory picture, as the agent is typically configured to scan once in a 24 hour period.

Hi Guys, 👋 Firstly please move this out of the FNMS forum if needed, as I couldn't really find a home for it on the Flexera Community elsewhere. When accessing a Flexera Ideas page, or opening the email the system sends when a change has been made to the status of an Idea, the link provided directs you to a Salesforce login page, that I do not have the credentials for. Can this please be fixed. Clicking View Idea, then takes you to the below URL and following page > https://login.salesforce.com/?ec=302&startURL=%2Fapex%2Fahaapp__AhaRedirector%3Freturn_to%3D%252Fideas%252FITAM-I-72%253Futm_source%253Didea_mailer%2526utm_medium%253Demail%2526utm_campaign%253Dsubscribers_status_change Ben
