3 SNOW LICENSE MANAGER (7.X) These recommendations span minimum, midpoint and high-end scenarios for server installations of Snow License Manager. Regardless of the used inventory solution, Snow Inventory Server needs to be installed as the inventory data source for Snow License Manager. All external inventory data sources need to report to Snow Inventory via Snow Integration Manager (formerly known as Snow External Data Provider). To fully utilize the features in Snow License Manager (such as Virtual Desktop Infrastructure support, Oracle support, and Web application metering), Snow Inventory Data Receiver 2.1 (or later) and Snow Inventory Data 4.5 or later is required. For specific hardware requirements, review the installation profiles to determine which profile best fits the number of inventoried client computers in the environment. All profiles described in this document refer to resources dedicated to Snow Software environments without third party systems or (other than OS and SQL Server) running on the same hardware.
