New Allocation Reason field

FlexNet Manager Suite version 2022 R2.1

A new Allocation Reason text field has been added to the SoftwareLicenseAllocation table, allowing you to document the reason why a user or device was allocated to a license.

Prior to this enhancement, it was only possible to see why a user or device was allocated to a license in the license history. Similar to the existing Exemption Reason field, you can now see at a glance the reason why a device or user was allocated to a license.

The allocation reason can be added and edited in the Consumption tab of a license, and the Apply Allocation & Exemptions wizard.

The field is a read-only column in the device License tab, and the Apply Allocation & Exemptions screen.

The Allocation Reason field has been added to the reporting column in the allocation object, allowing you to include Allocation Reason when building a report.
