Hi,
Just wondered before I issue a bug report whether anyone had figured
a workaround to the following issue?
We, like many shops, have both Mac and Windows boxes with cross-
platform licenses for the various pieces of software we run. I like
to use Casper to track my licensing across both platforms, but have
hit a snag. As would be expected, the applications have different
names on each platform but this seems to flummox the JSS. For
instance, to track CS3 Design Standard we enter the following as
software definitions: -
Adobe Photoshop CS3.app
Adobe InDesign CS3.app
This happily picks up all the Mac instances, but none of the Windows
(I wouldn't expect it to of course). If we change this definition to: -
Adobe Photoshop CS3
Adobe InDesign CS3
then JSS only reports Windows installs as contributing to the license
count. Finally, as I would (kind of) expect, if we make the software
definition include all 4, JSS doesn't pick anything up.
It seems to me that we need the software definitions to match on LIKE
for title or we need to be able to add conditions or even better sets
of definitions for each platform.
Has anyone got a workaround?
Cheers
Dan
