Can you restrict licenses by inventory device type?

Title

You may want to limit license consumption to specific device types, such as workstations, servers, or VM hosts. This article explains the license restriction options available in Flexera One and FlexNet Manager Suite (FNMS).

Flexera One and FlexNet Manager Suite support license restrictions using enterprise groups such as:

Locations
Corporate Units (Corporate Structure in FNMS)
Cost Centers

These restriction types are available on the Restrictions tab of a license.

The Restrictions tab also supports User Group restrictions through the Report restrictions section.

Inventory device-based restrictions are not available. Licenses cannot be restricted by:

Inventory Device Type
Inventory Role
Device Category
VM Host classification

For example, you can't configure a license so that it can only be consumed by devices classified as VM hosts, servers, or workstations.
