Device Installation Details Report

Column name	Description
Access mode	The method that this device uses to access a software application. This field can have one of the following values: Blank — When there is an allocation without any supportive installation record from the imported inventory. `App-V` For a virtualized application delivered through Microsoft App-V. `Citrix Virtual App` — Application data imported from Citrix Cloud into IT Asset Management that is recognized by the Application Recognition Library (ARL). `Local` — The application has been installed locally on the inventory device. `XenApp` (now known as Citrix Virtual Apps) — The application has been accessed remotely via a Citrix XenApp server. `XenDesktop` (now known as Virtual Desktops) — The application has been installed on a virtual machine in your VDI infrastructure, and associated with this inventory device because the primary end-user has accessed the software through this inventory device. If your virtual machine image includes the FlexNet Inventory Agent, this inventory device may have been identified as the end-point from which the end user accessed the VDI. In other circumstances, the end-user may have used a remote device such as a home computer or mobile device that cannot be inventoried; but as the end-user is associated with this inventory device, the application use can be recorded here for license consumption calculations. IT Asset Management generates the value of this field.
Affinity enabled	Indicates whether host affinity is enabled for this virtual machine. Host affinity enables you bind a virtual machine to the current virtual host. Editable in the VM properties tab of the inventory device properties.
Application	The name of the application found on this inventory device. Multiple applications may have been installed on this inventory device. You can edit this on the General tab of the application properties when `Local` is displayed in the Source column (which means the application was added manually by an operator).
Asset name	The name of an asset to which the device is linked. The link between an inventory device and an asset is editable in the General tab of the inventory device properties.
Asset status	Where this asset is within the asset life-cycle. The following options are provided by default (however additional options may be imported using a business adapter): `Disposed` — The asset is no longer held by the enterprise, as it has been sold, given away, thrown out, or destroyed. `In storage` — The asset has been delivered but has not been installed. `Installed` — The asset is in active use (standard operating condition). `Other` — Any other status used by your organization to classify an asset. This value does not affect any automated processing. `Purchased` — The asset has been purchased but not delivered. `Retired` — The asset has been retired from use, but remains within the enterprise. Editable in the General tab of the asset properties.
Assigned user	The user assigned to this inventory device. This assignment overrides the Calculated user. Editable in the Assigned field in Ownership tab of the inventory device properties.
Calculated user	The name of the most frequent user of this device, over the previous 10 inventory collections. The value of this field is automatically generated by IT Asset Management.
Category	The category of this device. IT Asset Management enables you to create customized categories to group inventory devices logically. These categories are additional to Inventory device type and Device role categorization. For example, you can create categories to differentiate database servers, network servers, or firewalls. The custom categories have no impact on license consumption. Editable in the General tab of the inventory device properties.
Compliance status	The compliance status of an inventory device. It can have any of the following values: `Changed` `Compliant` `New` `Not tracked`. The value is calculated by IT Asset Management and can be manually set on the General tab of the inventory device properties.
Computer inventory source	The method used to create the inventory device record. The possible values: `Automatic` — the inventory device was discovered in incoming inventory `Manual` — the inventory device was manually created `VM Host` — the inventory device is a virtual machine that was discovered while taking inventory of a host server. IT Asset Management generates the value of this field.
Computer name	The name of the computing device. The value of this field is automatically generated by the discovery process.
Computer type	Specifies the type of the inventory device, which may be any of the following values: `Cluster` — A cluster of several computers, typically managed by Kubernetes and with consumption reported by the IBM License Service (which does not allow for further breakdown, for example to individual hosts or VMs within the cluster) `Computer` — A computing device like a desktop, laptop, workstation, or a non-virtualized server. `Mobile device` — A mobile device like a tablet or smart phone. `Product` — Not a device type, but a pseudo-value used only in IBM VPC licenses to identify rows showing the licensed IBM product. This value may appear only if the Bundle consumption rules (in the license properties Use Rights & Rules tab, under License consumption rules) have the option Consume for each product on a device selected. `Remote Device` — The device is a remote device (not appearing in inventory) known to have accessed virtualized applications. This value is created automatically. `VDI Template` — The VDI template used to create the virtual desktop instance that was accessed from an inventory device (see Virtual Desktop Templates). This value is created automatically. `Virtual Machine` — A virtual machine running on a physical host machine. A physical host can run multiple virtual machines using virtualization technologies from VMWare, Oracle, Microsoft, and so on. Note that this value is also used for a record fabricated to represent an Oracle Database running on Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS). `VM Host` — A physical virtual host running one or more virtual machines using any virtualization technology, such as VMWare. Editable in the Inventory device type field in the General tab of the inventory device properties. The value may be overwritten by incoming inventory.
Cores	The total number of processor cores available in a physical inventory device; or the number of cores assigned to an inventory device that is a virtual machine. Populated and (by default) updated by inventory imports, the number of Cores can be manually overridden in the Hardware tab of the inventory device properties (see Hardware Tab).
Corporate unit	The corporate unit responsible for the inventory device. Editable in the Ownership tab of the inventory device properties.
Cost center	The cost center responsible for all costs incurred for this inventory device. Editable in the Ownership tab of the inventory device properties.
Creation date	The date when this inventory record was created in IT Asset Management. Tip: New inventory device records are created during a full import to the compliance database, as new inventory is identified. Therefore it's quite possible to have a creation date that is later than the inventory date, with the difference being due to scheduling, such as the scheduling of imports from third-party tools, or delays between the upload of FlexNet inventory and the full import and compliance calculations (for example, if your full imports are scheduled weekly, or the like). Not editable.
Display adapters	The total number of display adapters installed in the inventory device. Editable in the Hardware tab of the inventory device properties (for manually-created records). The value is overwritten (permanently) by incoming inventory, and thereafter is read-only.
Domain name	The name of the domain to which the computing device belongs. Tip: Records fabricated for special purposes display special values: A dummy device record created for imports through your connector to Flexera One SaaS Management displays `flexera.com` A record representing an Oracle Database running in Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) shows the full DNS alias (excluding the actual machine name), such as `clv8xj7busyg.eu-west-1.rds.amazonaws.com` Editable in the General tab of the inventory device properties for manually created records. The value is overwritten (permanently) by incoming inventory, and thereafter is read-only.
Friendly name	The name of the virtual machine that is recognized by the host server. This value is visible in the properties of the VM host, in the Virtual Machines tab, in the VM name column. Editable in the Friendly name field in the VM properties tab of the inventory device properties for the virtual machine. The compliance calculation updates this field with the machine name returned in inventory (matched by serial number).
Hard drives	The total number of hard drives installed in the inventory device. Editable in the Hardware tab of the inventory device properties (for manually-created records). The value is overwritten (permanently) by incoming inventory, and thereafter is read-only.
Host computer name	The name of the host server where this VM is a guest. Editable in the VM properties tab of the inventory device properties. Note: As long as incoming inventory does not identify the host for this virtual machine, your manual entry is preserved (that is, a null value in inventory never overwrites a manually-entered value). However, once inventory returns a known host for this virtual machine, your value is overwritten with the data from inventory. Should it happen that future inventory again returns no value for the host name, the previous inventory value in this field is cleared, matching the current inventory data.
Host identifying number	An identifier of a physical server that is unique across that hardware model. Depending on the operating system and hardware type, it could be the manufacturer's chassis number reported for the device. Editable as the Chassis number field in the General tab of the inventory device properties (for manually-created records).
Inventory agent	If you have multiple overlapping inventory sources that report on the same device, it is possible for some inventory details to come from one source and other details from another source. This column identifies the most recent source of inventory for this device, so that the value may change as uploads from different sources are imported. Tip: Although this inventory source provided the most recent inventory import, it does not follow that every recorded hardware property value came from this source. One of your inventory sources may be nominated as 'primary', and any values imported from the primary source cannot be updated by other inventory sources (although those non-primary sources can fill the gaps and update properties that are missing from your primary inventory source). The inventory source names are system-provided, and cannot be modified. Most values are self-explanatory; some less obvious ones include: `Data Platform` — The inventory was imported from Flexera Normalize (previously BDNA Normalize, part of BDNA Data Platform) `Flexera SaaS Manager` — This is a dummy device created for linking with imports through your Flexera One SaaS Management connector `ManageSoft` — The inventory was collected by legacy versions of the FlexNet Inventory Agent, and saved in a separate inventory database `Manual` — You created this inventory device record manually, and no matching inventory has been received yet. `SMS` — The inventory was imported from Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (previously Microsoft SCCM). `Tivoli Endpoint Manager` — Inventory was imported from IBM Big Fix, or one of its earlier renamings (IBM Endpoint Manager, Tivoli Endpoint Manager). Tip: If you have custom inventory adapters, entries for these may also appear in this column as appropriate. Not editable.
Inventory chassis type	The chassis type for an inventory device, as reported by the inventory process. This read-only value cannot be edited, however for the purposes of license calculations, you can override its value with the Assigned chassis type setting in the Hardware tab of the inventory device properties.
Inventory connection name	The name of the connection through which IT Asset Management received the last inventory for this inventory device. Not editable.
Inventory date	The date when the most recent inventory information was collected by the Last inventory source for this inventory device. The inventory process generates the value of this field.
IP address	The IP address of the inventory device. For inventory devices with multiple IP addresses (for example, those with multiple network cards), a comma-separated list (up to 256 characters) is shown. IP addresses in the IPv6 address family are not reported in FlexNet inventory for devices running UNIX-like operating systems. Editable in the General tab of the inventory device properties. You can edit this property only when the IP address is not dynamically assigned.
Last logged on user	The name of the user that was discovered to be the last logged on user on this device. Click the linked full name to open the General tab of the user properties pages, and for details see General Tab.
Last used date	The most recent date when this user opened the application, on any machine where the user has a login. Requires that usage information on this application is returned by at least one inventory source. This value relies on inventory, and is not editable.
Linked asset details	The encoded form of the database ID of an asset, a semicolon and the asset name. For example `123;MyLaptop`. This code is intended for use when this report is run from other third party systems via our APIs to enable creation of hyperlinks pointing to the database ID with friendly text. They are not intended for general display. Read-only.
Location	The location within your enterprise that is responsible for the device. Editable in the Ownership tab of the inventory device properties.
MAC address	The Media Access Control (MAC) address of the inventory device. If a device has multiple network interface cards, this field displays a comma-separated list of MAC addresses. Tip: This field is deliberately empty for discovered device records created automatically by the Amazon connector to represent installations of Oracle Database within Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS). Editable in the General tab of the discovered device properties.
Manufacturer	The manufacturer of the inventory device. Tip: If the device is a virtual machine (such as Linux KVM), this column may display the publisher of the software that is running the VM. Editable in the General tab of the inventory device properties (for manually-created records).
Max clock speed	The maximum clock speed (in MHz) of the processor that is installed in the inventory device. Editable in the Hardware tab of the inventory device properties (for manually-created records). If the value is gathered from inventory, it cannot be edited; however, it can be overridden.
Missing computers threshold	The number of days since this device last reported inventory.
Model no	The manufacturer’s model name or number for this device. Editable in the Model field in the General tab of the inventory device properties (for manually-created records). If the value is gathered from inventory, it cannot be edited, but it can be overridden by entering a new value in the Overridden field in General tab of the inventory device properties. The original value continues to display on the General tab, alongside the overridden value, and may be restored at any time.
Network cards	The total number of network cards installed in a physical inventory device; or the number of network cards accessible by the virtual machine. Editable in the Hardware tab of the inventory device properties (for manually-created records).
Notification	Possible issue(s) associated with this inventory device, such as `This device has a serial number that is not unique`. Visible in the Possible issues for this device section of inventory device properties. To ignore the alerts for the associated issues, see Ignoring Alerts.
Notification count	The number of notifications.
Operating system	The operating system running on this device. Tip: This value may be blank because: The device is recently discovered – the operating system can only occasionally be populated during first discovery, and is often backfilled once inventory is returned for this device. The device is a VM host that is a hardware frame that may not be running its own operating system. In this case, the computer Name field is set to a serial number associated with the hardware (because, without an operating system, there is no host name). In fact, no inventory of any kind is possible without an operating system, so IT Asset Management synthesizes the VM host record from common data reported by its guest VMs. The virtual machines in these cases may typically be partitions like: LPARs running on IBM PowerPC servers Solaris zones on either x86 or SPARC architectures nPar or vPar partitions running on HP Integrity servers.
Operator account	The first and last name of the operator who performed the action.
Overridden	Indicates whether the operator has manually changed one or more properties discovered in inventory, or if the inventory details are unchanged for this inventory device. This field displays `1` for Yes or `0` for No.
Partial number of processors	The equivalent number of full-time 'processors' set by the time-sharing controls on the hardware console. These 'processors' are vCPUs, and this corresponds to the maximum number of cores that may be used by the virtual machine. Some virtualization technologies (such as on IBM's AIX operating system) report this setting in inventory. You may override an incorrect inventory value for this field.
Pool	The name of the processor set the virtual machine is assigned to. Not editable.
Processor type	The type of processor installed in the inventory device. Populated and (by default) updated by inventory imports, this value can be manually overwritten in the Hardware tab of the inventory device properties (see Hardware Tab).
Processors	The total number of processors installed in a physical inventory device, or logical processors assigned to a virtual machine. Populated and (by default) updated by inventory imports, this field in the Hardware tab of the inventory device properties can be overridden with a manually entered value (see Hardware Tab). Overridden values are no longer updated by incoming inventory.
RAM	The size of Random Access Memory (RAM) installed in the inventory device, in gigabytes. For manually-created records, this is editable in the Hardware tab of the inventory device properties. The value is overwritten (permanently) by incoming inventory, and thereafter is read-only.
Recommended asset details	The encoded form of the database ID of an asset, a semicolon and the asset name. For example `123;MyLaptop`. This code is intended for use when this report is run from other third party systems via our APIs to enable creation of hyperlinks pointing to the database ID with friendly text. They are not intended for general display. Read-only.
Recommended asset link	Displays the name of an asset that is recommended for this inventory device. Not editable.
Role	The role assigned to the inventory device, such as `Development`, `Test`, and `Production`. Device roles (where permitted by the product use rights on a license) can exempt devices from consuming entitlements on a license to which they are (and remain) attached. For example, some license agreements may grant an exemption for devices used exclusively for testing. For more details, see Allocations and Exemptions. Editable in Device role field in the General tab of the inventory device properties.
Serial no.	The serial number of the device, attempting to uniquely identify either the hardware (for a stand-alone device) or the virtualization container (for a virtual machine), as reported in inventory. Tip: This displays `Flexera SaaS Manager` with a numerical suffix in the special case where the inventory device is a dummy record created for linking with imports through your Flexera One SaaS Management connector. For manually-created inventory device records, this value is editable in the General tab of the inventory device properties. This value is not editable for records created or updated from collected inventory.
Service pack	The service pack number or ID reported by the operating system. For manually-created records, this is editable in the Hardware tab of the inventory device properties. The value is overwritten (permanently) by incoming inventory, and thereafter is read-only.
Service provider Note: This field is renamed as Hosted in in other IT Asset Management user interface locations.	Shows whether the inventory device is on-premises (the default, meaning the device is within your enterprise), or in a cloud operated by a particular service provider. For some cloud service providers (like AWS and Azure), the Hosted in value is set automatically through inventory. For other cloud service providers, you must make a selection manually. Editable in the General tab of the inventory device properties.
Sockets	The total number of mounting sockets for central processing units (CPUs) available in a physical inventory device. For a `Virtual machine`, this may be the number of virtual sockets assigned to the VM. Editable in the Hardware tab of the inventory device properties. If it is not available from your inventory, or if the value is inaccurate, you can permanently override with a manual value.
Status	Indicates the current state of a device. It can have any of the following values: `Active` — A device for which the inventory information is received from an inventory source. `Archived` — This device is in transition pending deletion, but is currently held because of its historical impacts on IBM PVU sub-capacity retrospective calculations. `Awaiting Inventory` — This device is a place-holder that has not yet appeared in imported inventory from any source. `Ignored` — The device that is not managed. An ignored device is not considered in license consumption calculations. Tip: If an inventory device is linked to an asset record, and that asset is given a status of either `Retired` or `Disposed`, this `Ignored` value is automatically set for the linked inventory device. Provided that the inventory device has not [yet] been linked to an asset record, this value is editable in the General tab of the inventory device properties (although `Awaiting Inventory` is no longer available once inventory has been collected for the device, and `Archived` can never be set manually).
Threads	The total number of threads available in a physical inventory device; or the number of logical processors (virtual processors in a virtual machine, or threads assigned to a partition) assigned to an inventory device that is a virtual machine. Populated and (by default) updated by inventory imports, this field in the Hardware tab of the inventory device properties can be overridden with a manually entered value (see Hardware Tab).
Total disk space	The total space of all hard drives installed on the inventory device, in Gigabytes. Editable in the Hardware tab of the inventory device properties (for manually-created records). The value is overwritten (permanently) by incoming inventory, and thereafter is read-only.
Usage active time	The amount of time (in hours and minutes) which the applications on this device and consuming this license were used for and where active (meaning they were in the foreground browser windows). This value is generated by IT Asset Management.
Usage sessions	The number of individual sessions in the current usage gathering period (default 90 days) recorded for the applications on this device and consuming this license. This value is generated by IT Asset Management.
User name	The first name and last name of the user who was last detected as using the application on this device and consuming this license. The value of this field is automatically reported by IT Asset Management.
VM name	The name of the inventory device. The compliance calculation updates this field with the machine name returned in inventory (matched by several properties, including serial number). Tip: The name displays as `Flexera SaaS Manager` if this is a dummy device record created for imports from your Flexera One SaaS Management connector. Not editable.
VM type	The type of the virtual machine. Editable in the VM properties tab of the inventory device properties for the virtual machine (for manually-created records). The value may be overwritten by incoming inventory.

App-V For a virtualized application delivered through Microsoft App-V.
Citrix Virtual App — Application data imported from Citrix Cloud into IT Asset Management that is recognized by the Application Recognition Library (ARL).
Local — The application has been installed locally on the inventory device.
XenApp (now known as Citrix Virtual Apps) — The application has been accessed remotely via a Citrix XenApp server.
XenDesktop (now known as Virtual Desktops) — The application has been installed on a virtual machine in your VDI infrastructure, and associated with this inventory device because the primary end-user has accessed the software through this inventory device. If your virtual machine image includes the FlexNet Inventory Agent, this inventory device may have been identified as the end-point from which the end user accessed the VDI. In other circumstances, the end-user may have used a remote device such as a home computer or mobile device that cannot be inventoried; but as the end-user is associated with this inventory device, the application use can be recorded here for license consumption calculations.

IT Asset Management generates the value of this field.

Editable in the VM properties tab of the inventory device properties.

Note: As long as incoming inventory does not identify the host for this virtual machine, your manual entry is preserved (that is, a null value in inventory never overwrites a manually-entered value). However, once inventory returns a known host for this virtual machine, your value is overwritten with the data from inventory. Should it happen that future inventory again returns no value for the host name, the previous inventory value in this field is cleared, matching the current inventory data.

Host identifying number

An identifier of a physical server that is unique across that hardware model. Depending on the operating system and hardware type, it could be the manufacturer's chassis number reported for the device.

Editable as the Chassis number field in the General tab of the inventory device properties (for manually-created records).

Inventory agent

If you have multiple overlapping inventory sources that report on the same device, it is possible for some inventory details to come from one source and other details from another source. This column identifies the most recent source of inventory for this device, so that the value may change as uploads from different sources are imported.

Tip: Although this inventory source provided the most recent inventory import, it does not follow that every recorded hardware property value came from this source. One of your inventory sources may be nominated as 'primary', and any values imported from the primary source cannot be updated by other inventory sources (although those non-primary sources can fill the gaps and update properties that are missing from your primary inventory source).

The inventory source names are system-provided, and cannot be modified. Most values are self-explanatory; some less obvious ones include:

Data Platform — The inventory was imported from Flexera Normalize (previously BDNA Normalize, part of BDNA Data Platform)
Flexera SaaS Manager — This is a dummy device created for linking with imports through your Flexera One SaaS Management connector
ManageSoft — The inventory was collected by legacy versions of the FlexNet Inventory Agent, and saved in a separate inventory database

Editable in the Hardware tab of the inventory device properties (for manually-created records). If the value is gathered from inventory, it cannot be edited; however, it can be overridden.

Missing computers threshold

The number of days since this device last reported inventory.

Model no

The manufacturer’s model name or number for this device.

Editable in the Model field in the General tab of the inventory device properties (for manually-created records). If the value is gathered from inventory, it cannot be edited, but it can be overridden by entering a new value in the Overridden field in General tab of the inventory device properties. The original value continues to display on the General tab, alongside the overridden value, and may be restored at any time.

Network cards

The total number of network cards installed in a physical inventory device; or the number of network cards accessible by the virtual machine.

Editable in the Hardware tab of the inventory device properties (for manually-created records).

Notification

Possible issue(s) associated with this inventory device, such as This device has a serial number that is not unique. Visible in the Possible issues for this device section of inventory device properties. To ignore the alerts for the associated issues, see Ignoring Alerts.

Notification count

The number of notifications.

Operating system

The operating system running on this device.

Tip: This value may be blank because:

The device is recently discovered – the operating system can only occasionally be populated during first discovery, and is often backfilled once inventory is returned for this device.
The device is a VM host that is a hardware frame that may not be running its own operating system. In this case, the computer Name field is set to a serial number associated with the hardware (because, without an operating system, there is no host name). In fact, no inventory of any kind is possible without an operating system, so IT Asset Management synthesizes the VM host record from common data reported by its guest VMs. The virtual machines in these cases may typically be partitions like:
- LPARs running on IBM PowerPC servers
- Solaris zones on either x86 or SPARC architectures
- nPar or vPar partitions running on HP Integrity servers.

Operator account

The first and last name of the operator who performed the action.

Overridden

Indicates whether the operator has manually changed one or more properties discovered in inventory, or if the inventory details are unchanged for this inventory device.

This field displays 1 for Yes or 0 for No.

Partial number of processors

The equivalent number of full-time 'processors' set by the time-sharing controls on the hardware console. These 'processors' are vCPUs, and this corresponds to the maximum number of cores that may be used by the virtual machine. Some virtualization technologies (such as on IBM's AIX operating system) report this setting in inventory. You may override an incorrect inventory value for this field.

Pool

The name of the processor set the virtual machine is assigned to.

Not editable.

Processor type

The type of processor installed in the inventory device.

Populated and (by default) updated by inventory imports, this value can be manually overwritten in the Hardware tab of the inventory device properties (see Hardware Tab).

Processors

The total number of processors installed in a physical inventory device, or logical processors assigned to a virtual machine.

Populated and (by default) updated by inventory imports, this field in the Hardware tab of the inventory device properties can be overridden with a manually entered value (see Hardware Tab). Overridden values are no longer updated by incoming inventory.

RAM

The size of Random Access Memory (RAM) installed in the inventory device, in gigabytes.

For manually-created records, this is editable in the Hardware tab of the inventory device properties. The value is overwritten (permanently) by incoming inventory, and thereafter is read-only.

Recommended asset details

The encoded form of the database ID of an asset, a semicolon and the asset name. For example 123;MyLaptop. This code is intended for use when this report is run from other third party systems via our APIs to enable creation of hyperlinks pointing to the database ID with friendly text. They are not intended for general display.

Read-only.
