Thanks for your answer: To be sure, Flexera doesn't look automatically how many hosts are within the cluster? And therefore, In such environments we have no chance without allocations, right?

Hi Flexera, Situation; We have a Microsoft Windows Datacenter 2019 License and a VMware Environment (Cluster) with 4 Hosts. The VMware environment works with a flexible amount of VMs. It's possible all VMs are distributed on 3 Hosts and 1 Host is empty. Within the consumption table we see the Cluster of the 4 Host environment and the distributed VMs on 3 Hosts, but missing the other Host. According to the Microsoft rules (and our unterstanding) we have to license all Hosts within the Cluster, because the VMs can theoreticaly jump to one of the 4 Hosts. Question: How we can configure the licese, that the whole Cluster will be considered for the licensing? Kind Regards

Hi, we have to allocate a lot of devices within our license consumption (IBM Licenses). Is there any way to this in a short way? Kind Regards Marcel

i tried to upload the template (csv) in our test environment and unfortunataly get an error: An error has occurred when trying to run the query [select * from [source.csv]]. The error message is [The 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine.] Do you have any idea what does it mean and what i have to do? Best regards

@mfranz& @Nico_Erasmus thx for your help. I found it.

Hello, at present, we create every purchase by ourself - which takes a lot of time. If i'm rembering right, there is an opportunity for importing a csv file with the appropriate purchase infortmation. Do you provide a template for this? Or do you an idea in which document we can find the help? Kind Regards Marcel

@Kevin_Houindeed, the document is very helpful 🙂 We created the Manual Mapper as described in the dokument. But still, we get a result in the Raw Software Usage screen, but no result in the all evidences screen. So we can't link the evidence to the application and have therefore no usage data. Do you have an idea what is going wrong?

marcel_lucke · ‎Jul 18, 2019

we defined a Manual Mapper for an executable (Audacity) and get a result in the Raw Software Usage with our defined name "Audacity-Metering-Test". The problem is that the evidence (Audacity-Metering-Test) can't be found at "All Evidences" and we can't link it to an appropriate application. We linked already all possible evidences to the application. What we have to do to get the result from the Manual Mapper (Raw Software Usage) to the application?

Hi, is there any way to report local evidences to get an allocation to an application? Or do we this manually? If im right, in the past there was a template for evidences which shouldb be allocated to an application at one of the upcoming ARL updates. Or is this only for evidences with "Source Flexera" (and not "Source: Local")? Thanks in advance

Hi, we have built two reports with the same filters (the firtst one was built 2 months ago, the second in the last couple days. The second one was built, because i forgot the first Report 😉 ). The reports show us hardware informations and installed applications of our inventory devices. In both reports are the same devices, however for some devices there is a distinction with the number of installations. In the older report the device has 110 installations over all. the newer one shows 1100 installations. As described, there are only some devices which have this phenomenon. The distinction between the devices is always factor 10. Do you have any idea what could be the reason for this result? Kind Regards Marcel

Thank you for your reply and advice to get the right consumption. We will try it.

Hi community, we have an issue to optimize our Windows Server 2016 Standard license consumption, because the relevant setting for Downgrade Right is missing (from Standard Edition to former Enteprise Editions). Microsoft writes in their licensing guide for Windows Server 2016 Standard: "If the customer has Windows Server 2016 Datacenter edition, they have the right to downgrade software bits to any prior version or lower edition. If the customer has Windows Server 2016 Standard edition, they have the right to downgrade the software to use any prior version of Enterprise, Standard, or Essentials editions." (P.27) http://download.microsoft.com/download/E/6/4/E64F72BF-55E9-4D85-9EFE-39605D7CE272/WindowsServer2016-Licensing-Guide.pdf Is this issue already known or new? Kind Regards Marcel
