SNOW LICENSE MANAGER (8.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. For specific hardware requirements, review the installation profiles to determine which profile best fits the number of inventoried client computers and mobile devices 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. DEPENDENCIES ON OTHER SNOW PRODUCTS To utilize certain features in Snow License Manager, the following Snow products are required to be installed. Feature Oracle support Web application metering Virtual Desktop Infrastructure detection Virtual Desktop Access licensing Requirement Snow Inventory Client for Windows, version 3.5 or higher Snow Inventory Client for Windows, version 3.5 or higher Snow Inventory Data Receiver (IDR) *, version 2.1 or higher Snow Inventory Client for Windows, version 3.7 or higher Mobile SAM Snow Integration Manager ** Active Directory Discovery Transport of inventory data from Snow Inventory clients over HTTP Snow Active Directory Discovery Service Snow Inventory Data Receiver (IDR) *, version 2.1 or higher Use of external inventory data sources Snow Integration Manager ** * When installing the IDR, you will be asked to enter the host name of Snow License Manager (SLM endpoint). If required, you can change the host name later on by using the Snow Inventory Data Receiver Configuration (IDRConfig.exe). ** For information on available integration connectors, refer to separate documentation for the Snow Integration Manager, which is available for download at www.snow.com/int/download.
