Symptoms
The inventory import process may fail with error details like the following appearing in logging:
2022-04-14 09:02:44,748 [INFO ] Create license allocations from ImportedSoftwareLicenseAllocations 2022-04-14 09:02:49,172 [INFO ] Failed to execute Writer 'Create license allocations from ImportedSoftwareLicenseAllocations' from file C:\ProgramData\Flexera Software\Compliance\ImportProcedures\Inventory\Writer\LicenseCreateUpdate.xml, at step line 28 Error: Violation of UNIQUE KEY constraint 'UQ_SoftwareLicenseAllocation'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.SoftwareLicenseAllocation_MT'. The duplicate key value is (1167, <NULL>, <NULL>, <NULL>, <NULL>, <NULL>, <NULL>). The statement has been terminated. Added 0 new user allocation(s) from the source database connections. 2022-04-14 09:02:49,172 [INFO ] All retries have been attempted for Writer 'Create license allocations from ImportedSoftwareLicenseAllocations' 2022-04-14 09:02:49,172 [ERROR] System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): Violation of UNIQUE KEY constraint 'UQ_SoftwareLicenseAllocation'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.SoftwareLicenseAllocation_MT'. The duplicate key value is (1167, <NULL>, <NULL>, <NULL>, <NULL>, <NULL>, <NULL>). The statement has been terminated. Added 0 new user allocation(s) from the source database connections.
Mitigation
A possible cause of this issue is encountering a situation where user or inventory device details are updated by a user or other process while an inventory import process is running. If this occurs it is likely that the same problem will not occur on subsequent inventory import processes, so attempting to run the inventory import process again may result in a success.
