Reporting to IBM
FlexNet Manager Suite
2024 R1
(On-Premises)
FlexNet Manager Suite provides a digitally-signed report package that is ready for you to
submit to IBM for audits. The package includes the following reports:
- IBM Cloud Pak consumption report
- IBM PVU license consumption report
- IBM VPC license consumption report
- IBM Unlicensed Installations report
This package can be used as a trusted source for audit as the data contained in the package can be validated for authenticity. It meets IBM's reporting requirements and is accepted by IBM.
Tip: Although some of the reports are very
similar to those from ILMT, there are acceptable presentation differences between
ILMT and FlexNet Manager Suite reports of sub-capacity licensing. IBM's
sub-capacity reporting requirements do not require exact copies of the ILMT reports
(nor is FlexNet Manager Suite intended to copy ILMT).
Important: Reports show data based on the latest full license
reconciliation calculations. In fact, if for some reason you have not yet run a
full (overnight) license reconciliation since switching to high-frequency PVU
mode for FlexNet Manager Suite, reports like IBM PVU License
Consumption are unable to display any data.
Important: If you are on a version earlier than FlexNet Manager Suite 2022 R2, this digitally-signed report package is not available.
You still need to generate and save individual reports for audits. See the topic
"Reporting to IBM" in the documentation specific to your version
available at https://docs.flexera.com/.
