Working in SAAS Manager with O365 License. The ability "Manage Availble Licenses" does not seem to function as expected and I have spent hours today trying to review Microsoft. Has anyone else had this problem? I remove the licenses and the never go away. They come right back. Does this take overnight to resolve? Also, why is the save button at the bottom of the page and not docked at the top. Working in SAAS Manager has been more than difficult and I find something new every day. (adding attachment) Shelby

Was able to export into ITAM and much easier to digest the info. Thanks!

Thank you for the answer! The problem I see with leaving blank means I am getting everything and can't tell if it's free or paid licensing. The way we had it set up initially was blank and I wasn not able to begin to tell who was using what. We have since set up the license as "paid" and I am seeing exactly what I expected. Shelby

How can I export meaningful data from SAAS Manager? Specifically need to export, into excel preferably, a list of licenses associated with our O365 Client. Currently when I export I get a list of the application instances, not the licenses. This is not helpful at all. I am having to suffer through looking at each record in SAAS Manager and trying to decide if I've touched it or not, and try to make notes on a different spreadsheet of questions pertaining to particular license. I've tried copying and pasting into Excel and that doesn't work well either. Seems like this should be an OOB option to me. Snips attached. Shelby

Noticed that PowerBI license via SAAS Manager is not showing any differentiation between a "free" license and the paid licensing. Every use is being considered as a paid license and they are not. How to fix this behavior? Should this be 2 separate licenses? Thanks

I understand peak consumption. I just wasn't clear on the way Flexnet was now "showing" this on the license overview page. I personally don't like it because at a glance I look and immediately think we have a problem. Now that I know the reasoning. All good! Thanks for responding to my question!

I've noticed for IBM "All Licenses" view the "current consumption" is showing the PEAK consumption number and I have to click into each license to view the actual current consumption. Why did this change?

What would cause product use rights to change? I'm referring specifically to "exemptions". I notice for some odd reason (and has nothing to do with Recommended License Changes), my exemptions for Device Role reverts back to default. I may for example exempt Development, Test, Disaster Recover and they revert back. I haven't paid special attention to when this happens, but wonder if this would be something that might "change" after an FNMS upgrade? That's all I can think of. Thanks

This question is of an urgent nature and if anyone might be able to provide some guidance here I would greatly appreciate. I've tried to scan through the various info on Java but nothing is making sense to me. I am trying to get to a comprehensive list of Java within our environment which I believe I have successfully captured. What I cannot get to is correct versioning. This is happening in roughly half the records I'm pulling. Results are returning version: 1, 2, 5, etc. which makes no sense to me while other records are pulling actual versioning that I expect, for instance, 6.0.31, 8.0.25, etc. Can someone explain and help me get to the actual versioning here? Thanks in advance

What is "bothering" me is the fact that I have a database license consuming both a NUP and a Prod license. That cannot be correct.

shelby_day · ‎Oct 09, 2020

I am seeing consumption for both NUP & Proc metric (same database/instance) on a number of option packs. Is this normal and only corrected via allocations or is something off? What am I missing? Thanks, Shelby

An observation and question as I am looking at our Oracle environment and working to optimize the licensing. I notice that when I am working with the NUP metric license view the license role (example: PROD, DEV, TEST, etc.) is not available for this metric. I am assuming it is because typically a NUP consumes non-production licensing, however, this is not necessarily the case for us. I am now having to dump this consumption info into a spreadsheet and run vlookups from active inventory to determine what role each of the VMs plays. I assume this would be an enhancement? It may not see logical to have the field available, but it really is for us. Shelby

Thank you for the info. You always have such great insight.

What is the best practice according top Flexera to accept (or not) IBM Recommended License Changes that come in? Someone decided to "help" me by accepting ALL the recommended changes without reviewing or considering impact to the licensing. I have now spent the better part of 2 months trying to get my consumption back in line. Every time I make a change or try to reverse the change that I didn't make a ripple effect happens and several licenses are affected. I'm at a loss as to what to do. Typically I read what the recommended changes are and make a decision to either accept or reject. Unfortunately that didn't happen in this instance and I'm doing clean up. The same thing happened to me early on when I took the recommendation of someone at Flexera and accepted ALL changes. That took a month to clean up as well. Since then I've been very careful about making changes. How does one know to accept these changes in the first place and how do we really know what the impact will be? What happens if you do not accept the changes? Should I open a case with Flexera to address this? Thanks, Shelby
