I didn’t want to hijack David’s thread, but I have a question. Hope its ok I changed the subject line.
I have been rethinking our Software Inventory\Metering rules. Does the statement “ did you enable Software Inventory for the .exe’s you are metering?” Mean that if you stop inventorying exe’s in the windows folder, but set up a metering rule for one, that the rule won’t work? I’m not saying we would do this, I’m just curious. I want to make sure I thoroughly understand everything. Thanks!

This was counterintuitive for us but fixed the issues you are having.

If so... simply wait; and see what happens on Sunday for those reports. Unless SW Metering has changed since the last time I looked at exactly how the data flows... there's a summarization that happens behind the scenes, weekly; I think on Saturday overnight. And no, you can't trigger it sooner, and no, I don't recommend trying to fake it into running sooner. I recommend... "please wait until next week" as your strategy.

Software Metering is enabled and rules are enabled. Software metering summarization runs every day. I’ve seen a few others post issues like this, but I haven’t seen a solution. Any ideas on what could be causing or how to resolve?
