Appendix F: Features Enabled in FlexNet Manager for Datacenters

IT Asset Management (Cloud)

The basic license for IT Asset Management includes some functionality related to Oracle. With only the basic license, you can:

• Discover Oracle databases (but not collect inventory from them)
• Collect installer evidence data (basic software inventory of other products).

However, to enable collection of detailed Oracle inventory, you must have licensed the FlexNet Manager for Datacenters product for IT Asset Management. This additional license adds many more features:

• License management and compliance for Oracle Processor, Oracle Named User Plus, Oracle Application User, and other Oracle-specific licenses
• Detailed Oracle inventory of database options and Oracle E-Business Suite
• Inventory of specialized systems like Exadata, SuperCluster, and so on
• Inventory and license reconciliation for the Oracle license types stated above.

To check whether you have licensed FlexNet Manager for Datacenters:

1. Go to the IT Assets License page (Administration > IT Asset Management Settings > IT Assets License).
2. Scroll down to the section on Licensed products, and identify the card for FlexNet Manager for Datacenters.
3. If the card is missing or grayed out, detailed Oracle inventory cannot be processed, and you should discuss your requirements with your Flexera consultant.
