Discussion
The 2019 R1 release of FlexNet Manager Suite brings sweeping improvements in IBM PVU license management, for those who have a license variation from IBM allowing you to use FlexNet Manager Suite for sub-capacity license calculations in place of ILMT (or other IBM tools). (This article does not apply to those not using IBM PVU licenses, or using the licenses with inventory data collected by ILMT).If you are running FlexNet Manager Suite as the source of truth for PVU sub-capacity calculations, be aware that the upgrade to 2019 R1 brings significant changes, both in appearance of the IBM PVU license property sheets, and in the following ways:
- In the brief hours between the upgrade and your next full compliance calculation (or license reconciliation), the results for IBM PVU licenses (including their compliance status) are not to be used. The change-over from old calculations to the new, nightly reassessment is only completed with that next reconciliation.
- If you have created custom business adapters for importing data with the Business Importer, and any adapters reference the PeakConsumed property of IBM PVU licenses, each affected business adapter needs redevelopment before it can run again. That property is no longer available, because of changes in peak consumption calculation.
- For correct consumption calculations, you will need to register your enterprise group locations within the three mandatory IBM regions, and make sure that each device consuming PVU points is 'owned' by the appropriate location.
- It?s also important now to have a single IBM PVU license per product (or bundle). This may mean some work to merge licenses if, for example, you have previously created separate licenses for each region.
