Why are these analyses being deprecated? There is no reason or replacement listed in the description of the Fixlet. Is it to be assumed that the information will only be able to be gathered within BFI?
We’re trying to consolidate our Microsoft Office version down to just 2013/2016 and those analyses help. BFI is great for historic and usage, but we need to near real-time of analyses.
Hey Alexa,
Did you ever receive a reply/resolution on this?
Looking to use something similar for our Adobe Products now.
I never did. I wound up just modifying the Office one to include newer products.
IBM updated its support policy for the BES Inventory and License site in December, and @AlexaVonTess your original supposition is correct, usage information is to be provided through BFI. The details are here: Modification of the support policy and strategy for the “BES Inventory and License” site
That’s too bad though. We use it a lot within Web Reports and for targeting systems. I wouldn’t have thought it too difficult to maintain these analysis…
