Hi Kevin_Hou, As a follow-up, I agree, automated process is the best solution, thus please share the enhacement number, so I can also vote and track it. Thanks in advance!

Hi Rita, As long as all applications reported on an Inventory device are covered by the Adobe Creative Cloud (CC) Suite Enterprise license (with version and edition matching), you will not need another CC Suite license for the older applications. FNMS should consume entitlements of the Adobe Creative Cloud (CC) Suite Enterprise license (which has downgrade rights configured) for the Inventories having Creative Cloud for Enterprise 2017 applications, too.

@JohnSorensenDK Thanks John, yes, as stated above, we have CIS Datacenter and Standard. No other Windows licensing. Both built by SKU automation. Both have proper applications related. Upgrade/Downgrade application rights look logical, based on SKU automation. All related applications have some installations. License consumption order/priority is automated (I did not adjust). Yet zero consumption on both.

@mfranz I agree this seems most likely to be the case. It seems strange to me that NP++ would have changes that often to the ARL, but I do agree that this is the most likely scenario as its the only changing variable for this device since its offline.

FNMS will not change any license settings automatically. If you create a license using a purchase oder where the SKU is initially not recognized, or if the software vendor updates the use rights that are linked to the SKU on a purchase that you used when creating a license, FNMS will create a 'recommendation' for updating the license configuration. This use case is what the view "License Compliance > Compliance > Recommended License Changes" has been designed for. In this view, you can select any recommendation in the list and either accept or ignore it. Only if you accept a recommendation in this view, the license configuration will be updated.

Just an input, I am currently working with one of the organziation to understand their D365 deployments and usage pattern and then mapping licensing. For me so far the inbuilt reports are giving all details within D365.

Hi Rajesh, IBM PVU consumption data calculated by ILMT will be imported during the Inventory import into FNMS for viewing purposes. FNMS has read-only access to ILMT data only. Running the report in FNMS will not have any impact on existing IBM data/reports. The report will display both the PVU consumption data calculated by ILMT as well as the PVU consumption data calculated by FNMS for comparison.

Ah, that would explain why your mac application catalogue is so limited then. I just today noticed that even Docker desktop is not included. (that is the reason I'm here!) Even if I ran the plugin on IE on a guest VM, I still wouldn't be able to browse to the application installed on the host OS.

I had one device with exact same problem. No DNS, proxy, internet issues, etc. But the agent would still fail to retrieve its policy. Export the following registry key from a machine with working agent and import it to the problematic one, then run the following command as admin: Reg key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\ManageSoft Corp\ManageSoft\Common] Command: "%PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\ManageSoft\Policy Client\mgspolicy.exe" -t machine -o UserInteractionLevel=Quiet

Hi Ravi, Generally a license will be required for any device that is used for making a software product available to users. If you install a desktop application - like Microsoft Project and Microsoft Office Professional - on a server, these installations will need a software license, too. Software vendors are very clear on this in their license agreements. Installing desktop applications on production servers is not considered to be a "best practice" approach. There is a number of reasons: You will have to provide licenses for your servers and This may have a negative impact on the stability of your servers.

Hi, The IBM PVU license consumption calculation relies on peak usage data by definition. PVU consumption related raw data can be collected either by ILMT or by using the Flexera agent. In any case, you must historical consumption data available for your servers to allow for calculation of peak usage data. If you manually assign a license with PVU metric to additional computers, you have to: Make sure that conditions for PVU usage calculation are met. The agents running on these computers have to learn (via download of the policy) that these computers are linked to a license with PVU metric now. Make sure that FNMS is configured correctly for PVU licensing. This will allow Flexera agents and VMware scanning to run every 30 minutes as required by IBM Only after agents running on all servers linked to a license with PVU metric have downloaded the PVU settings, they will start collecting IBM PVU related consumption data and will be doing the frequent hardware scanning required by IBM. You have to be patient and wait for the agents running on the two computers that have been linked to the PVU license recently to pick up the new information. Give them some time to collect and upload PVU related consumption data. Once these agents have collected PVU data for a reasonable amount of time you will see peak consumption data. Once peak consumption data are available for your servers, PVU consumption will be calculated for servers that have been manually allocated to a PVU metric license, too.

Hi Gopal, In this scenario, instead of exempting certain servers from consuming a license, a recommended best practice is to: Use license scoping (tab "restrictions") for restricting where a license can be used (like by Organizational Unit) Manually allocate your computers (servers) to the license As you noticed, if you exempt a device from consuming on a software license in FNMS, that device will not consume any other software license that has been configured to use the same application. This means that the device will not show any usage data for the application, too.

Hi Statler, Thank you for your response. I reconsidered and after reading the info at https://access.redhat.com/solutions/690063 decided to process it as a subscription to an extra license without application. This way I can record the PO for future reference. Consumption is being measured in the license for RH00004.
