> 1. What exactly is the difference between a globalized license, a free license and an unglobalized license? When OCS imports software it is all getting a globalized license by default. In order to assign a
free and global license are quite the same one. This is only the title which is modifying. These two licences type correspond to license whithout need to buy individual licenses. > cap on the number of installs, I have to unglobalize the license. I have not figured out how to convert a globalized license to free. This is not really easy for now. Keep global licenses imported by OCS instead of wanted to convert them to free. > I'm also finding that when I first unglobalize a license the number of installs remaining seems to be being determined randomly, how is the default for the remaining installs derived? When you un globalized licenses remaining may be 0. An individual license is created for each computer lik to the global license. > A. As a follow up to the above question, we had one case where we unglobalized a license, and the unglobalized license turned into two different line items. Both defaulted to 100 installs, and they each seemed to count towards the total. In each case the serial number was "_global_" really strange. Licenses and Software management of GLPI need to be improved. We know that some fetaures are needed for this part. This is a big part of the developpement for a future version. https://dev.indepnet.net:8080/glpi/wiki/GlpiLicenses we must make the sorting in all that to arrive at a coherent solution. > 3. We're planning on importing as much of our machine data as > possible from OCS. We have the OCS agent deployed to some random test machines, a representative of the types of machines we have. We're having a problem importing some of our laptops. GLPI seems to think that a laptop in its docking station and a laptop outside its docking station are two different machines. If OCS consider them as the same machine, GLPI may import it as the same one. Duplicates management may work and you only need to make a sync. > 4. Finally, while OCS is collecting most of the information we > need, it is unable to collect some information for devices, it cannot automatically fill in inventory numbers, and some of its information for monitors is incomplete. I have an Excel spreadsheet with the missing information. Is there any way to import that Excel sheet into GLPI, say by converting the spreadsheet to a CSV file and importing that? I just don't want to type information in again if I don't have to. You should write a simple plugin to import your own datas. But it will be specific to our problems. > 5. Thanks a lot for all your help, and as I said this is a great product so far. Great product but need to be improved again and again.
