License reporting of IBM Security Verify Privilege On-Premises

News


Abstract

IBM Security Verify Privilege On-Premises was listed as a stand-alone product in the software catalog. You could assign components directly to this product on the Software Classification panel. As a result, license consumption could be miscalculated in certain situations. Starting from application update 9.2.27, IBM Security Verify Privilege On-Premises is properly listed as a FlexPoint bundle. After you upgrade to application update 9.2.27, reassign components that were directly assigned to IBM Security Verify Privilege On-Premises.

Problem:
Starting from License Metric Tool 9.2.21, IBM Security Verify Privilege On-Premises was listed as a stand-alone product in the software catalog. You could assign components directly to IBM Security Verify Privilege On-Premises on the Software Classification panel. As a result, license consumption could be miscalculated in certain situations because license metrics were not converted to FlexPoints according to a fixed conversion ration. To calculate license consumption correctly, IBM Security Verify Privilege On-Premises must be modeled as a FlexPoint bundle in License Metric Tool with conversion ratio properly indicated in the software catalog.

Affected offering:
IBM Security Verify Privilege On-Premises


Solution:
Starting from License Metric Tool 9.2.27, IBM Security Verify Privilege On-Premises is modeled as a FlexPoint bundle and is no longer available as a stand-alone product in the software catalog.


Behavior after you install the update:
If you assigned components directly to IBM Security Verify Privilege On-Premises, you need to reassign them after you upgrade License Metric Tool to application update 9.2.27. First, assign the detected components to products according to your license agreement. Then, assign the products to the IBM Security Verify Privilege On-Premises FlexPoint bundle. For detailed instructions, see: Assigning products to FlexPoint bundles.

Available since:
9.2.27
