How to account for OEM windows licensing
The asset auto discover picks up the windows license key automatically. This is great except for that it also picks up the OEM License key for HP. HP seems to always use the same key regardless of what the sticker on the bottom indicates. As a result it throws my compliance reports off in the dashboard. I tried adding it as a volume key but unless I constantly go in there and update it every time I get a new machine it will be "under-utilized", or apply the key to machines that have been activated
Why Can't I Delete That Entry in ServiceDesk Plus?
We're often having to clear out 'legacy' settings in client installations of ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus. The biggest concerns usually revolve around the deletion of Sites, Departments, Categories and Support Groups. First off with Sites, Departments and Categories you often end up with a greyed out entry which is marked as 'Not for Further Usage' when you attempt to delete one of these entries: Whilst the option will no longer be available as an 'active' selection in ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus
Software that has been added to a suite
I think it would be beneficial to indicate if a software title has been added or is part of a suite. Currently you have an icon for a software suite, but the software components themselves are also still listed in the software module. If you could display an icon say for example a blue dot next to individual software titles to indicate this title has been added or is part of a suite I think would be very beneficial. Another option would be just to add a column with yes/no values for part of suite?

export reports and queries
good morning everyone. I'm going to be moving from one company to another, both use manage engine service desk plus. I was wondering if there is a simple way to export the reports and queries that I have built in order to easily bring them to my new place of employment without having to manually recreate them all again. (there is no conflict of interest here, the company I built these at has gone out of business and is being liquidated)
No SLA for Problems?

Notification bell
our notification bell has stopped displaying alerts for "requester replies". AS far as I'm aware, nothing has changed on the system side of things other than a reboot. Other notifications such as ticket assignments etc are being notified via the bell - it seems that only requester replies have stopped notifying. Is there a method/command to switch these back on ? many thanks ewan
Requester Details
Hi all, I’ve recently downloaded the Manage Engine Standard Software but seem to be having a few issues configuring the requester details. I'm a fairly new user so please bare with me. The first problem I have is although I’ve added ther additional fileds of Business Name, Address Line 1, Address Line 2 and Postoce into the ‘Common Additional Fields’ section. When I then go to ‘Users’, ‘Add New Requester’ the fields appear but in a random order? I want to be able to amend the ‘Add New Requester’
CI Type for virtual servers
Hi there, I've added a few of our virtual servers into our asset module and would have thought the fact that they are listed as having server operating systems in that they would be identified by the agents as being vmw servers that they would go into the 'Server' section of the asset module. They are actually going into the 'Workstation' section. Other than setting up a 'group' looking for the word server in the operating system I would have thought it would identify them itself as servers? Or
Dashboard issue
I used to be able to see a listing of all the technicians within the sites of my organization but now I only see myself only after upgrading to SDP 9.0. This is very frustrating for I have searched this forum and have not been able to locate a fix. Also, when I view All sites NTLM Failed Redirecting to login page is shown where statistics should be. Currently we are running 9.0 Build 9004. I do not plan to perform any updates until these issues are resolved as I cannot afford for any other features

Asset query
Hi, I'm currently trialing the professional edition to see whether it's worth us upgrading to and have a quick query about the asset section. If I'm in the asset section by clicking on the Asset tab I can then see a button that says "assets in use". It has a figure next to it for example 42. I click on this and would expect to see all my 42 assets in use?!? It defaults to showing "resources" and only printers that I have as assets so will only show something like 12. Am I expecting something that

Required Fields Prompt On Request Close/Resolution
Requested Feature: Show missing required fields and allow tech to fill in upon request resolution/close instead of error message. I have certain required fields for a request to close. When a tech attemps to close a request without filling these fields they get an error saying missing required fields. It would be really nice if, instead of an error, they got a window with the missing required fields that they could complete then proceed to close the request.

Help for clearing DEV and TEST Instance
Hi, We have 3 instances of SD+ which are copies of our prod instance which we call DEV and TEST. Last week we renewed our contact and we decided to reduce our DEV and TEST lisences to 5 techs and 500 nodes, we have 200/50k in prod. The problem is that we used to importe our PROD DB to our other instances... I have reduced the amount of techs to 5 that's not an issue but I need to delete 40k+ assets but we want to keep 500 of them for test purpose. Is there some sort of query I can use for that ?

Moving from Windows Server to Linux
Hi, Our service desk has been giving us a lot of problems lately, Our infrastructure has changed a lot in the last 6 months which I believe has caused some of these issues. I'd like to start with a somewhat clean slate, by moving Service Desk from a Windows based server to a Linux based server. Do I lose any functionality by doing this? Also is it possible to just export strictly the tickets? I don't want to bring the entire Database along as I feel like I will be bringing the same issues along

How to assign groups based on incident template
Hi, I am really going crazy. I have created an incident template "lost sap password". I would like to define, based on this request, an auto assign to the group SAP administration. I was able to do this on technician template, but not on requester. If a requestor open a new ticket with this template, it is not assigned to a group. What do I wrong? Best regards and many thanks!
