I am hoping to support a project that is rationalising applications across our estate. Is it possible to create a report that will accept a list of device numbers and report back all applications found on each device? Basically, what I am after is the result of clicking on a device and then the Applications tab but for multiple devices at the same time.

@kclausen Thanks for your contribution. We wouldn't use AppLocker on device based licences, though these are becoming few and far between these days. Software Licensing is certainly a minefield. We have one publisher who insists that we put measures in place to stop anyone who logs onto a device from starting their software, otherwise we have to have a licence for everyone in the company because, theoretically, any of them could log onto the device!

" How are you bringing the AppLocker restrictions into FNMS so it knows about it? " That was really the basis of my question. AppLocker is built into Windows 10 when bought through a VLSC agreement and is expected to be a widely used method of restricting access to applications. Perhaps I should be making an enhancement request for a future release of FNMS to recognise AppLocker Security groups.

Thanks for your reply. For #2 I think there is an opportunity for debate here. For user based software the EULA will usually say that you need a licence for any user who can run the software. AppLocker will stop a user from running an application if they are not in the security group for it. However, FNMS reports the calculated user for a device so will presumably report that the user needs a licence even if AppLocker is stopping them from using the application.

Hi, Whilst investigating a non-compliant licences I realised that the non-compliance was due to FNMS reporting support staff who had logged onto a PC as being users of the device in addition to the registered own of the device. Even though they did not start the application concerned they were reported as consuming a licence. Also, we have two users sharing a device and they are both reported as consuming a licence even though one swears he has never started the application. This has prompted two questions. Can we legitimately disregard admin accounts when calculating consumption and, if so, can this be taken into account on the dashboard. If we use a tool such as AppLoader to restrict access to applications will FNMS reflect this in consumption reports? I'm new to FNMS so any advice welcome.
