Applications Tab

FlexNet Manager Suite 2021 R1 (On-Premises)

Here you can view application information for this Docker image. These applications are available within containers instantiated from this image.

The following application-related properties (listed alphabetically) are available on this tab.

Table 1. General tab details
Field Description
Access mode

The method that this computer uses to access the application attached to this license.

Since the application is included in the Docker image, this typically shows Local in this listing.

The Access mode value is not editable, and is derived from inventory.

Category

The broad function of the application, by default from the UN Standard Products and Services Code.

Classification

The type of software, especially as it relates to licensing (freeware, commercial, component, and so on).

Edition
The edition of an application, as specified by the publisher of this application.
Note: Many applications do not specify an edition.
Evidence capability
Most application evidence is used to identify whether an application is installed on a device. Some evidence may identify whether the application was accessed by a user. This column identifies the kinds of evidence so far linked to the application, with the following values:
  • Installation
  • Access
  • Installation and Access — There is evidence available for either purpose, or both.
  • None — The application has not been linked to any evidence records (by default, there is also an alert displayed on the application name highlighting the same shortcoming). You should try to remedy this situation, as without evidence, consumption for any license linked to this application cannot be calculated.
Extended

Displays Yes when the application originated in the Application Recognition Library, but someone in your enterprise has added extra evidence to the application definition. A No means the application comes from the Application Recognition Library and is unchanged.

Not editable. Updated automatically when evidence is linked to the application defined by the Application Recognition Library.

Flexera ID

A generated code that uniquely identifies all application records, and can be used for integration between products from Flexera.

Image ID

Unique identifier of the image.

This is the full ID of the container image whose properties are now being examined.

Last used date
If reported by an inventory tool, this column contains the last date when this application was used. The column is blank when either:
  • Usage tracking is not configured for this application
  • There is no inventory record of usage matching the criteria set for this application.
License name

Reserved for future development.

The name of the license linked to the application found in this container image.
Note: Applications installed in containers will not impact the consumption from any of your licenses. This functionality is planned for a future release.
Tip: The License name displayed is intentionally shown empty to indicate that there is no license consumption for these applications.
Name

The name of the application found on this inventory device. Multiple applications may have been installed on this inventory device.

Product

Displays the application name, excluding references to the publisher, version or edition.

Publisher

The name of the publisher of this software, responsible for its development and distribution.

Source
The origin of an application record:
  • Flexera — Shown when the application is downloaded in Application Recognition Library (if so, you cannot edit any of the application’s properties, but can link it to additional evidence).
  • Local — Shown when an operator in your enterprise created the record for this application.
  • Flexera (Extended) — Shown when an operator added additional evidence to the original record from Application Recognition Library.
Suite

Displays Yes if this application is a suite (that is, contains child applications), and otherwise No.

Version

The release number (or release identifier) of an application.
