@lauraharaba - Having the life cycle data populated within the FlexNet/ITAM application catalog is an additional Service Subscription add-on that must be purchased. This information is not provided with a standard FlexNet Manager/Flexera One ITAM license.

@adrian_ritz1 - To accommodate these users, could you change your global inventory schedule to run at 9AM or 10AM instead of 8AM?

@AlanHelberg - Markward has a very valid point. When Users are first created within FNMS (from Active Directory beacon connection, from SCCM connection, etc.) they are created with Domain, AD Account Name, and User Name. Email address of the user is not filled in. When you connect to O365, the way that users are identified is with Email Address. When importing the O365 User Data, FNMS will take the EMail Address and try to find an existing User. If a user is not found, it will create a new user and allocate that new User to the O365 license. Now you are out of sync with the Inventory, because Inventory Devices are linked to the original users that do not have an email address. If you are connecting to O365, you need to first populate the initial set of User records with the email address, via a Business Adapter (such as by connecting to Active Directory LDAP, or a feed from your HR System. Now, when the O365 data is imported, it will find an existing user and Allocate the existing User to the O365 license. During a Reconcile, FNMS will find the inventory devices linked to that existing User and find the Local Installs of O365 components that are installed (Power BI Desktop, Teams, Office Suite, etc.)

@nagaeendra - This seems like an older version of the agent? Are you trying to perform some type of "upgrade" of your agents to a newer version? Since this Community Post has been set to "Resolved", I would recommend that you create a new Community Post to get some feedback from other community members.

The Debian Installer package can be obtained from your current FlexNet Inventory Beacon. Navigate to the following folder, where currentversion is the latest version number of the agent. C:\ProgramData\Flexera Software\Warehouse\Repository\Packages\Flexera\Adoption\currentversion\Rev1.0\ManageSoft for Linux (x86_64) Managed Devices\dpkg Capture the file named managesoft_xx.x.x_amd64.Deb

@matthias_van_b_1 - To follow up on what Chris stated, you should not see both types of File Evidence rules for the same application. It would either be a list of EXEs with "At least one of the following", or 1 or more EXEs with the rule "Required". My educated guess would be that if you were to find both types of rules for an application, then both conditions would need to be true. For example: AA.EXE is required. At least one of the following is required: (BB.EXE, CC.EXE, DD.EXE, EE.EXE) If only AA.EXE is found, then the application would not be recognized. If only CC.EXE is found, the application would not be recognized. However, if AA.EXE and CC.EXE are both found, then the application would be recognized.

@winvarma - Yes, deploy the agent to each LPAR. FNMS will then build out the AIX hierarchy showing all of the dedicated LPARS, physical/shared pools and LPARs within the pools.

@wwwyin - Yes. With or without active SA, your Microsoft entitlements have downgrade rights to all prior versions. Therefore a SQL Server 2014 instance can be licensed either with a license with the SQL Server point rule set, or by a license with the SQL 2016 point rule set.

A "Named User" license metric implies that the entitlements are only valid for specific users. You normally need to go to some type of publisher "portal" and register the specific users who have a valid entitlement. Therefore, you need to get a list of those specific "named users" for Alteryx and then use a Business Adapter to allocate those users to the license. FNMS will then calculate consumption based on the number of users that are allocated. Similar licenses with a Named User license metric would be Microsoft MSDN subscriptions, Microsoft Office 365, and Adobe Creative Cloud.

@durgeshsing - The SQL provided by @mfranz only works against the FNMSInventory database, where the raw data captured by the FlexNet Agent resides. The Corporate Unit assigned to an Inventory device is in the FNMSCompliance database. You will need to run the one query to get the Build Number from the raw FNMSInventory database and join that together with a separate query from the FNMSCompliance database and match on the Computer Name.

The vast majority of the CPU consumption of a normal agent inventory scan happens during the scan of the local hard drives to capture File Evidence. The High-Frequency Scanning for IBM PVU sub-capacity is only gathering hardware inventory - no software inventory is captured. Hardware inventory is typically gathered by making API calls to the native OS and is very lightweight in terms of CPU usage or Disk I/O

Navigate to the VMWare Inventory view. In the upper-left, click on the Add Filter link. From the first "Select a value" drop-down, select Alert. Next, go to the second "Select a value" drop-down and select the Alert that you want to filter on. NOTE: You can you this approach on any Managed View that has alerts (Active Inventory, All Licenses, etc.)

Please see the following Community Post that describes the same symptom. The root cause here was an older version of Windows Server there the TLS Protocol was disabled. https://community.flexera.com/t5/FlexNet-Manager-Forum/FNMS-agent-installed-on-Windows-server-2003-and-2008-were-not/td-p/110203

@MANOJKUMAR_K - This must be a Custom Solution that was created for you at some time in the past, likely during your implementation. As a Custom Solution, this means that it is not a standard feature of FNMS and it is likely that anyone here in the Community would be able to assist you. You will need to investigate and find out who created your custom Business Adapter and custom SQL Report and get them to assist you.

@MANOJKUMAR_K - This table does not exist in the FNMS On-Premises database schema. May I ask where you see a reference to this table name and what it is that you are trying to accomplish?
