Any plans for IBM to make a stand alone LMT application (or virtual appliance)?  The only IBM software we have is WebSphere MQ server running on two servers and we use the PVU licensing.  For these two instances of the WebSphere MQ software I need to deploy/manage a server with SQL Express, BigFix console and the License Metric Tool.  This is such a hassle just to meet the license requirements for one of their products.  Is there a more simplified way to keep in compliance with their licensing requirements?

Hi,

I am not aware of any plans for a ILMT Virtual Appliance, however I strongly recommend you to request such feature in Aha! and track the changes there.

As for simplifying ILMT installation, there is an option called License Metric Tool Lite. In this case you would not use HCL Bigfix application.
Please have a look at the following URL for more information about this option:

Thanks.
