InventoryType

FlexNet Manager Suite ()

Command line | Registry

InventoryType identifies the inventory type, either machine-based or user-based.

Note: User-based inventory collection is deprecated, and included only for backward compatibility. Specifically, no policy is generated in FlexNet Manager Suite for user-based inventory collection, so that the ndtrack component does not normally generate any user-based inventory. Furthermore, there is no guarantee of future operation of user-based inventory, and the recommendation is to convert any legacy systems to use machine-based inventory.

Values

| **Values / range** | String literals `User` or `Machine`. | | **Default value** | `User` unless the account executing `ndtrack` is `LocalSystem`, in which case the default switches to `Machine`. | | **Example values** | ``` Machine ``` |

Command line

| **Tool** | Inventory component \(`ndtrack`\) | | **Example** | ``` -o InventoryType=Machine ``` |

Registry

| **Installed by** | Code internals, or manual configuration | | **Computer preference** | `[Registry]\ManageSoft\Tracker\CurrentVersion` |
