I’m trying to enable the “Updates for Windows Applications Extended” site but for some reason I cannot find it on the license overview, although I have Lifecycle licensing.
It may be something about BigFix version? Mine its 9.5.13.130
Run the besadmin tool on the root server and see if there is an update then refresh the license overview page using right click as the refresh button isn’t always great
Check if they are listed under the Compliance sites within the License Dashboard by “updateforwinappextend”. In some cases for whatever reason, it lists the available sites not by their actual name/display name but their keyword.
If you have ran the BES Admin tool as suggested above and it hasn’t made any difference, then next step would be to open licensing support case and check if things are set-up correctly there.
I was able to resolve my issue. Something to look for is in the BigFix License Overview page at the top is the “License Update Date:” Mine was not updating. I had some other issues with my server around being able to patch. I fix that, patch, and updated my BigFix version to the latest, and then ran the BES Admin tool. Once I logged back in I noticed that the License Update Date was updated and I now had the option to enable the Updates for Windows Applications Extended.
Good morning everyone!
I’m sorry, I’ve missed that quote about besadmin tool.
I’m…pretty new with BigFix so…could would please just quick explain how to access the besadmin tool?
Already checked my console folder and it’s not there.
I actually have the same issue with my lab environment and I have not gotten around to fixing it. I have been ignoring the problem, but it is my fault due to my licensing in my lab environment being messed up.
