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.
