I need some clarifications to the above. It says " When you see Unknown Component now, this means that it's unrecognized evidence that's not linked to a database, which should be ignored." It is not clear to me if it what should be ignored here. Additionally, the ARL has not set the evidence to Ignored but linked it to applications that are listed as Commercial. If the evidence 6 applications should be ignored please clarify that. Updates to the ARL would also be appreciated! (Running FNMS on-prem v 2020 R2 and ARL 2613)

That would be great, @Natalie! We don't do this because it is easy, do we? 🙂 Let me know if I can support in any way. My organisation has not bought After Effects separately but only as part of All apps. I could, temporarily, add C4D to the All Apps suite but that could cause issues in the long run, and I don't like to make changes to the Flexera applications.

Hi @Natalie , Thank you! Yes, FNMS captures the installer evidence and connects it to applications of Cinema 4D (edition "Unspecified"). I am wishing that if Adobe's After Effects (AE) is installed on the same device it would not indicate the Maxon application but regard it as a component of AE. Might be complicated, but I have high confidence in Flexera's capabilities 😉

Hi, "Adobe After Effects includes a free installation of Cinema 4D Lite" says https://www.maxon.net/en/cineware-aftereffects It would be great if we could trust FNMS to recognize this for us and connect them. Is that planned to a release yet?

I would like to see an update of the retirement reasons for Licenses (Identification tab). The current ones seem to be more adequate for hardware: Broken, disposed, donated, lost, sold, stolen. As a minimum please add expired.

Hi, Is the " Usage detection for ... Oracle GoldenGate" detecting usage on the device GG is installed or where it is licensed, i.e. devices for source and target databases? (I am very optimistic on this Monday morning :))

Thank you for the info. However, we are running ARL #2512 and Spatial is still listed as commercial. Isn't that unexpected?

To get even more value of the Inbuilt report I want to be able to store a new version of a report with applied filters. Example: the Application Installation Details report which I find very useful.

@Nico_Erasmus , sorry but I don't know where those boards for suggestions are. Could you pls direct me?

INgrid · ‎Apr 07, 2020

Based on the Inbuilt report "Application Installation Details" I have applied quite a lot of filters and would like to know how I can store this for reuse in the future. I can't find a way to save this. "Save as" does not store the filters, it is not even possible to edit the report saved to add the filters there. Since it is in the Report section a Management view is not an option either. Is there any way to do this without creating the report from scratch? If not, could Flexera please consider this a suggestion for enhancement?

Hi @kirsty_wilson , Not sure I understand the issue completely so here are my 2 cents, hope someone else can contribute more: I suppose that depends on what Blue Prism and the robots are installed on. We run them on VDI's with specified naming standard both for the devices/VDI's and for the robot user accounts. The version we run (2019 R2 on prem) recognizes multiple versions of Blue Prism as applications so you would have to link your purchases to applications via a license as usual. Please let me know if that helps at all.

I ran into the solution by accident. When creating the licenses I linked the second one to the same purchase as the first and found the "License entitlements" field in License properties, Purchases tab. Lo and behold, in the help text: "To split the entitlements from a single purchase across multiple licenses, using this Purchases tab of the license properties: For the purchase you wish to split across licenses, select the value shown in the License entitlements column. Type a new value. Take care not to enter a figure greater than shown in the Purchased column for the current purchase record. Click Save to store your changes in the database." Perhaps I didn't explain my issue well enough. Anyway, thank you for your responses!

@kclausen, correct, it is Named users and I will make batch allocations, with data from the Adobe console and some other sources. Still I am at loss on how to connect the purchase to the licenses as I want to reduce the amount of manual changes as much as possible.

INgrid · ‎Jan 17, 2020

Thank you for the input @mfranz ! I forgot to mention that the licenses are user based and allow installations on more than one device if used by the same individual:

INgrid · ‎Jan 16, 2020

In all its wisdom, Adobe has created a "goodie bag product" called Single App which means you buy a certain number (X) of Single App and allocate for example a number of Illustrator users (Y) and another number of Photoshop users (Z). As long as Y+Z is less than or equal to X we are compliant. If one user has more than one user has both Illustrator and Photoshop allocated they should consume 2 Single apps. There are more products included in Single apps but I am trying to keep it simple. My challenge is how to connect the included licenses to the purchase in FNMS. I have not found a way to connect one purchase to more than one license. I would prefer not to split the purchase since that would mean I would have to alter the quantity frequently. I would appreciate all good input to this.
