I was wondering, and haven't been able to find it anywhere, but is it possible to use wildcards in Licensed Software definitions?
As an example, we use Sassafras K2 Key Client to control a lot of our concurrent use software. Sassafras version numbers are in the format of x.x.x.x, with version prior to 6.2.x.x being x.x. Now, if setting up a Licensed Software definition for Key Client 6, and I specify a "like" "6" for the version, since it uses substring matching, it will bring up anything with a 6 in it. Which with Sassafras versioning, will bring up 7.0.0.6, 7.1.0.6, etc. If I was just making a smart group, I would simply do an "like" criteria with "7.%.%.%". However, if I do this with Licensed Software, I come up with 0 results.
Using JSS 8.73.
