Excellent Idea. I'll run water the pipes with my current approach. Once proved out, I'll build the longer lasting approach. Appreciate it

I'm making some progress on Step 1. Shoutout to @jjensen for his SQL Query that got me started SELECT cc.ComputerName AS 'Hostname', cc.IPAddress, st.FullName AS 'Application', cc.InventoryDate FROM InstalledApplications ia JOIN ComplianceComputer cc ON cc.ComplianceComputerID = ia.ComplianceComputerID JOIN SoftwareTitle st ON st.SoftwareTitleID = ia.SoftwareTitleID WHERE FullName IN ( 'KNIME Analytics Platform 4.0', 'KNIME Analytics Platform 4.1', 'KNIME Analytics Platform 4.2', 'WebEx Meetings 30', 'WebEx Meetings 32.12' ) Now to be more efficient any ideas on how to maintain the list or build out first one since I have hundreds likely of the applications "Fullname I need to pull out device names. then I compare those devices to where I have Java installed I wish to example, then I think I'm there.

All, Doing this manually today which is very time intensive. Asking to see if the community here has ideas or SQL Scripts to help. Here's what I'm ideally attempting in order to refresh our data faster 1. List of Applications that I would define in a "List" which we know has a Java dependency and would include device properties to get where installed. The list would be updated periodically 2. The above list would then be compared against known Java deployments to include device properties to get where installed. 3. A compare that would then show Java submit to remediation or otherwise where known to have one or more application that has a Java dependency Step 1 is where help needed, my list is growing and not feasible to run individual app deployed reportes Steps 2,3 I can manage. Just showing end to end in case of some wild miracle this is possible in a complex SQL query Thanks for any help on step 1

I ended up taking a different route, having to break the report in to about 5 parts to obtain needed data. Thanks everyone for the quick help

Conceptually seems to work but where I'm expecting 50-90K in some application counts, I only see 10K or so.

How can this be accomplished in FNMS? I'm on-prem 2019R2. My attempts keep creating a single line for every app on each devices making the record counts into the millions. The report GUI is challenging to edit, modify, etc. Looking for something like this OS, App Name, Count Thanks

This will be an odd inquiry, bear with me. Within the compliance tab of a License Properties one could "manually" increment entitlements without adding in a purchase record. Where inventory (consumption) is not available for any reason how might I manually "increase" consumption to give a single compliance perspective for both discoverable (dynamic) and non-discoverable (Static or PIT point in time) positions? This would help form a complete position where FNMS either can't or we're not permitted to run discovery.

@kathy_allen No, but this might help. I see that it is now "Allocated" to the license I wish to allocate to. But it is not consuming against this license. Those two Java licenses (I'm testing so ignore versions), both have same applications. The outcome after a reconcile process is run, would be that Java SE NUP is allocated and consuming (since it does that the product installed) and that license where it is current consuming and not allocated (Java SE - Processor) would no longer consume and move to my NUP license I hope you can follow my thinking here.

@kathy_allen Yes, but it is consuming under my license called "Java SE - Processor", I wish for it to consume under license "Java SE - NUP". I'm assuming from reading that I can go to Apply Allocations and Exemptions, filter to the record set I wish to allocate. Call out the license to allocate then apply. Or am I missing some steps along the way

This one has puzzled me for the last few days. Not finding answer on boards or documentation, or not clear to me. Hoping someone can shed some light On the attached image you'll see I'm attempting to allocate 4 records to a license called "Java SE - NUP". It is not currently allocated to anything but IS consuming against a license called "Java SE - Processor". Both have same products, I'm simply trying to force PC's to consume against one and servers to consume against the other What am I doing wrong that the RED highlighted window on my attached states it will not allocate?

@ChrisG I think that is where I'm landing, at least it's where the current capabilities of the tool is leading me. We use cost center tagging for specific areas like SQL server licensing to force their consumption via an exception. Thanks to all others as well for your feedback.

@bfaller You might have misunderstood my inquiry. Allow me to restate it. I'm seeking methodology within FNMS (On-prem 2019R2) where I have 2 licenses; 1 for NUPS and one for Processor. I want my NUP to consume against users on Desktops/Laptops and my Processor against Servers. I've tried user Oracle NUPS, User, Processor, etc consumption shows mixed with laptops, desktops and servers in each of the 2 licenses created. While I hate to manually tie those, i.e. allocate might be the only way. If that is the way then feel a worksheet is best served here. Others have this mastered yet, would like to hear experiences. Thanks!

@mfranz , In AWS PaaS for example and for purposes of discussion say Oracle. there are two license status, i.e. "License Included or BOYL". Unless there is a way to ingest PaaS discovery/inventory into FNMS I won't see consumption for licenses within FNMS. Without branching into other tools once again how can I achieve that single pane of glass view within FNMS? Can I manually import the data via business adapter. How have others solved or are tracking this vs spreadsheets?
