Importing from old FlexNet inventory database with a version less than 14.0 (release 2019 R2) fails at ReadSerialNumber step

It's recommended to migrate the Inventory database version to 14.0 or later (post 2019 R2 release).

For on-premise customers, alternative workaround is to update the ManageSoft Reader XML file:
- Locate the Computer.xml reader in $ImportersDirectory\Readers\ManageSoft
- Look for "ReadSerialNumber" step and duplicate the step (copy the entire Reader XML node). In the duplicated step, modify the VersionFrom from "12.3" to "14.0".
- In the original ReadSerialNumberStep where the VersionFrom is "12.3", remove the line where it says:
and dbo.IsVirtualMachineOfTypeLinuxKvm...
