Hi SNOW Community,
I wanted to ask how do you treat software that is freeware according to the use rights, but reported in SNOW as a software requiring license.
For example: FlameRobin 0.9 (free database administration tool)
Use rights: flamerobin.org
We have round 30 similar situations.
If i change the "license required" flag, will SNOW overwrite this with the next update?
Thank you!
Anita
But shouldn't this be fixed by the SRS/DIS team since it looks the definition is not correct if we need to change it ourselves?
This being a global tool, should this not be reviewed by DIS and get a definitive decision? Otherwise we will have differences across the board and the true value of Snow is to iron out the inconsistencies
Hi Anita,
I have changed license metric for similar applications, these apps still didn't require license. Some examples:
After changing license metric to "No license required", don't forget to run compliance recalculation, to get updated data for these applications.
Best regards,
Viktors
@anita Peter is correct you can manually change the license requirement settings for those applications and they won't be overwritten. however as pointed out by Gert-Jan and Mark if these products are incorrectly identified as needing license then please reach out to the DIS/SRS team (via support) to get them to investigate the products and where possible update the global SRS database.
Kind regards,
Jelle
Hi Anita,
You can mark this application as no license required when you edit the application under license settings.
This setting will not be overwritten.
