FlexNet Manager Suite 2019 R1 (On-Premises Edition)
When a user accesses a remote application in a virtual desktop infrastructure, FlexNet Manager Suite uses the VDI template to track the application access. A virtual desktop
template is a method to track software access details in a VDI environment. FlexNet Manager Suite gets the software access details from the template and user details from the
Active Directory to track the access of remote applications by the users, through the
inventory devices. The Access mode displays the method used by an
inventory device to access an application.
For more information about using lists, filters, and other UI options, see the topics under
Using Lists in FlexNet Manager Suite. The following table displays the virtual desktop template
properties in an alphabetical order:

Field |
Description |
Access mode |
The method that this device uses to access a software application. This field
can have one of the following values:
- Blank — When there is an allocation without any supportive installation record from
the imported inventory
- Local — The application
has been installed locally on the inventory device.
- XenApp — The application
has been accessed remotely via a Citrix XenApp server.
- XenDesktop — The application
has been installed on a virtual machine in your VDI infrastructure, and associated with
this inventory device because the primary end-user has accessed the software through
this inventory device. If your virtual machine image includes the FlexNet inventory agent, this inventory device may have been identified as the end-point from which the end
user accessed the VDI. In other circumstances, the end-user may have used a remote
device such as a home computer or mobile device that cannot be inventoried; but as the
end-user is associated with this inventory device, the application use can be recorded
here for license consumption calculations.

VDI template name |
Whenever the assigned or calculated user for this device accesses a virtual
desktop instance, FlexNet Manager Suite determines the VDI template from which that
virtual desktop instance was spawned. That VDI template is listed here.
