Are there any known concerns/issues with having inventory devices that are not assigned to a hardware asset? The inventory devices will still consume entitlements, correct?

In regards to your point about usage tracking is based on file evidence (binaries), not install evidence, is that only if you use the flexera agent on all your devices? Because we have applications with usage that only have installer evidence. we get our computer (laptop/desktop) info from SCCM though, not an agent. It was my understanding we saw usage because either usage is turned on for that application in SCCM or if the installer evidence is add/remove that usage could be calculated.

This is good to know, thanks. I also thought last used date would be populated if file evidence was added to the applications, correct?

I opened a case back in 2019 around having toolkit set up as a suite. I was told it was done and had already manually added the apps. I believe they should include those applications. I would recommend opening a ticket.

We created some management view reusable reports to show computers that haven't inventoried in 90 day and VMs that haven't been inventoried in 30 days and then ignore those so they are included in compliance. On the flip side, we have reports to activate ignored computers that have reported in the last 90 days and ignored VMs that have reported in the last 30 days.

No I am not aware of a batch process to change the purchase type. It might be a good thing to add to the Flexera Idea page though.

In our environment, I change the license type to Hardware and save the purchase. It then no longer shows up in Unprocessed Purchases and we do not create licenses for hardware purchases.

Is there a way to pull a report from FNMS that shows EOL or EOS for applications if it is populated? I could not find those fields when creating a new report. If not, can someone provide the SQL statement that would be needed to pull it from the actual database?

Thanks! That would be a great enhancement! Is there an ETA for this and will we be able to install it without upgrading FNMS? In the meantime, I'm still not clear how to restrict other corp units from consuming from the license in question. If we allocate the users of this particular corp unit to the license it will force them to consume from that license. But if another license is short entitlements then those extra consumptions would theoretically consume from my restricted license if there were extra entitlements.

Changing the effective date to match the purchase date would be for the error 'There is a gap in maintenance coverage for this license'. The error in your screen shot typically means your number of entitlements don't match your current maintenance. But it looks like they do in your screen shot. What does it say on the Compliance tab. Does it show entitlements to be 752 and 'maintenance from purchases' to be the same?

Thanks, that is what I was thinking based on what I found in the OnLine help. I also saw the info on the restrictions tab, unfortunately this is a User license type and the restriction tab is not available for that license type. Is there another way to restrict a user type license to a specific corp unit?

How do you restrict to just one corp unit in the Group Assignments. I made the corp unit the owner in the ownership tab and I assigned the purchases to the corp unit in the Group Assignments tab but other corp units are still consuming from the license total. I only want the corp unit that owns the licenses to be able to consume.

Thanks @EHacking . Would you use the Ownership tab of the license to restrict or the Group Assignment tab? Guess I'm confused about the difference.

If I have an entity (merger/acquisition) that purchases its own software, what is the best way to restrict those purchases to that entity in FNMS so that no other entity can use them? Would you put all the purchases under 1 license then use Group Assignment to allocate purchases to their corp unit (or cost center or location) or would you create a separate license for that entity? And if you create their own license, how do you restrict it so only people from that corp unit can consume against that license?
