Add Flexera ID Lists

App Portal / App Broker for ServiceNow 2016

To specify which applications in your enterprise will be subject to license reclamation (uninstallation), you need to specifically add those applications to the My Apps License Reclamation Target Flexera IDs list, which is opened by selecting Compliance Management > My Apps on the Admin tab. To add an application to this list, click one of the buttons in the toolbar:

Buttons to Add Applications to Reclamation Target List

You have several options when adding applications to the My Apps License Reclamation Target Flexera IDs view, depending upon which button you click:

• Add Discovered Flexera IDs—Click to view a list of all applications in the enterprise that have a Flexera ID identified. A list entitled Add Flexera ID From Applications Discovered in FNMS opens.
• Add Flexera ID From Licenses—Click to view a list of all applications in the enterprise that have a license created in FlexNet Manager Suite. A list entitled Add Flexera ID From Licenses in FNMS opens.
• Search Flexera ID—Click to search all applications in the FlexNet Manager Suite Application Recognition Library. A list entitled Search for Flexera ID opens.

All of these lists of applications have the same information displayed; they just are listing a different set of applications.
