Discovery licenses
The BMC Remedyforce Base license enables you to discover devices and collect their operating system, hardware configuration, and software inventory. The initial process to discover devices in your network is the same across all licenses.
If you want to manage your discovered devices with enhanced capabilities (that is performing direct actions such as Remote Control or operational rules), upgrade your discovery license to one of the following:
- BMC Remedyforce Client Management - Premium
- BMC Remedyforce Client Management - Premium Plus
To perform these enhanced capabilities, you need to install agents on the discovered devices. For more information, see Configuring-Remedyforce-for-upgraded-discovery-licenses.
