Hi, as part of my ILMT training to my teams, i used to use the following process to obtain the beta license:

Installable beta

Get access to the beta downloads page and browse through the available packages. You can download and install License Metric Tool and BigFix Inventory on Linux or Windows. Each of those installation types requires that you have the BigFix platform installed in your environment.

• If you are an existing BigFix customer and you already have BigFix server with License Metric Tool or BigFix Inventory Beta fixlet site, update the beta site to the newest version and use the fixlet to download the installer.
  • If you are an existing BigFix customer, but you do not yet have License Metric Tool or BigFix Inventory - write to tem, log in to the BigFix console. In the bottom-left corner, click BigFix Management, and then in the navigation tree, click License Overview.
  • If you are an existing License Metric Tool or BigFix Inventory version 9 customer and do not yet have the License Metric Tool or BigFix Inventory beta site, write to tem'BigFix Inventory Beta' or 'License Metric Tool' product.
  • If you are NOT yet a BigFix customer and you would like to test License Metric Tool version 9 - use THIS form to generate the BigFix license for License Metric Tool beta. Next, download the BigFix server from this LINK (choose production version - not evaluation) and install it using your generated license. You can find detailed instructions in License Metric Tool documentation.

If you are NOT yet a BigFix customer and you would like to test BigFix Inventory version 9 - write to tem

These links no longer work and I cannot find any help - is this still available through IBM please?

thanks

Hello,

1)

Please note that since the divestiture that took place back in 2019 the BigFix Inventory (BFI) application is no longer an IBM product - see:

2)

When it comes to ILMT, the beta program is now discontinued. There is no ILMT feature currently being developed which would require broad beta testing. If you have any questions or comments related to ILMT product features or wish to ask about development plans, please contact talk2sam://www.ibm.com/docs/en/license-metric-tool?topic=tool-give-us-feedback .

Best regards,
