    Hi

    Thank you for your question.

    You indicated have added two new servers into the computer group, and BESClient was installed on these new server.

    Did you also setup Set up collection of data after they were moved.

    "Setting up data collection (BigFix scenario)"

    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/license-metric-tool?topic=bigfix-setting-up-data-collection

    .

    Also, did you reinstall the scanner as well then setup new scans against the newly added servers?

    See "Manual scan configuration":

    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/license-metric-tool?topic=collection-manual-scan-configuration

    .

    Then try running another 'Data Import" to get the info updated in your environment.

    “Scheduling import of data”

    https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SS8JFY_9.2.0/com.ibm.lmt.doc/Inventory/planinconf/t_scheduling_imports_scan_data.html

    .

    In terms of software scans, apart from scans, you also need to have data upload scheduled:

    "Uploading software scan results (BigFix scenario)"

    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/license-metric-tool?topic=configuration-step-4-uploading-software-scan-results

    .

    Please follow the instructions from ILMT documentation chapter explaining how to proceed if software is not found:

    "Troubleshooting software discovery"

    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/license-metric-tool?topic=support-troubleshooting-software-discovery

    Thanks.
