SCCM 2012 Software Metering is not working

SCCM 2012 Software Metering is not working in our environment. Other than software metering, reports work just fine.
I have created a few simple software metering rules with “Acrobat.exe” and “Outlook.exe”. Rules are enabled. Rules were on at least 6 months.
When I go to software metering reports, Month parameter value is empty and I can’t choose any value.
I ran runmetersumm.exe on our server, it did not work as intended. :
Summarizing data up to 0 hours old.
File Usage Summary added -1 rows in 0 seconds.
Monthly Usage Summary added -1 rows in 0 seconds.
I am stumped. Why would it add minus rows?
Any ideas how I can make software metering work on our environment?
Thank you

Finally figured it out.
mtrmgr.log did not find any rules when I ran executables. So I knew it wasn't working on the server side.
After searching for a while, I found the solution from the link below:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/8f048512-c357-437e-89ec-cee5356a10b1/software-metering-reports-empty?forum=configmanagergeneral
1. Deleted RULECHG.RTA under policypv.box folder
2. Removed and recreated metering rules again.
Everything is working again now.
Thank you.
I do wonder how to avoid those problems going forward though.

  • Software Metering Rule not working SCCM 2012

    No usage data found to generate software metering report.
    mean that the
    machines ran meteriing, but there isnt nothing on the machiine that matches the
    meter rule so it says
    No usage data found to generate software metering
    report, int the SWMTRReportGen.log?
    Please help me in this issue.

    a common mistake is to configure a specific language and/or version that is not present on all machines.

  • SCCM 2012 Software Metering - Status Message ID

    Hi All,
    I am planning to
    configure “Automatic Software Uninstall”
    based on software metering rules as outlined in the following blogs.
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/neilp/archive/2012/11/27/software-metering-deep-dive-and-automation-part-1-use-it-or-lose-it-the-basics.aspx
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/neilp/archive/2012/11/29/software-metering-deep-dive-and-automation-part-2-use-it-or-lose-it-the-collections.aspx
    However, the account
    is currently installing software based on AD Software install groups.
    If a user does not
    use the software the software metering rule will ensure the machine is
    populated into the application uninstall collection. However, (problem) the
    machine account is still in the Install AD group and therefore, the uninstall
    will not occur, (as install deployment takes precedence over uninstall
    deployment)
    I could configure
    the install collection to exclude the uninstall collection, which would allow
    the software to uninstall. But, then once the machine automatically gets
    removed from the uninstall collection the software will install again as the
    machine is still in the AD group.
    Solution: Remove the machine account from the
    AD install Group.
    Question: What the best automated approach to
    remove the machine from AD install group. I am thinking along the lines of
    using Status Message ID’s based on the metering rule which causes a script to
    fire and remove the machine from the AD group.
    Would I have to
    create a status message Rule for each application? Or is it possible to create
    a generic one that can be leveraged for each application / metering rule
    combination?
    What Status Message ID should I use ?
    I would appreciate
    and comments or suggestions on the matter?
    Thanks
    Paul.

    Hello,
    You referred AD group, did you install this application via group policy?
    I think you can find out these machines via result of software metering. The following article show software metering rule:

  • SCCM 2012: F8 debug widow not working (At-least not visible) after entering into the "Currently installed Windows 7 Image": F8 works in winPE

    F8 debug widow not working (At-least not visible) after entering into the "Currently installed Windows 7 Image"
    F8 option turned on in the boot image.
    F8 debug window works in Windows PE.
    F8 debug window does not show-up on F8 key-press after entering the 'Currently installed Windows 7 Image" all the way to the end of the task sequence.
    But after a 'Restart Step' (and if F8 was pressed) the Task Sequence tends to pause indefinitely as if the
    F8 debug screen is open in the background.
    I am using SCCM 2012 SP1 (CU 1 is
    not an option at the moment).
    Any ideas as to how I could get the debug F8 option back?

    There have been a couple reported occurrences of this (or something similar) to my knowledge with no resolution in the forums. Your best bet may be to open a case with CSS.
    Also note that if you were going to do a CU, why would you pick CU1 instead of CU4? And, can I ask why it's not an option out of curiosity?

  • SCCM 2012 software metering show impossible numbers

    Dear All
    We have started software metering for AutoCAD. The issue is is for some PC it is showing that the total usage duration is more than total minutes available in the month. i.e.
    for a PC it is showing
    Last Usage
    Total Usages
    Average Usages per Day
    Total Duration (min)
    WD0028
    1/1/2014 12:00:00 AM
    114
    3.68
    532883.1
    I want to know how it is possible that the total usage is more than available in a month. i.e.   24*31*60= 44640
    due to this the metering is giving more utilization of license than available.
    - Sumeet

    confused or I could not understand .
    Even if two exe with same name are loaded but only one exe is executed at a time.
    That is not true, you can have two application running at the same time.

    Safari is not working on the Mac. Internet is fine. mail, App Store etc all working and connecting to Internet fine. Done the latest software update, still not working. When selecting a web address from bookmarks or typing in search bar, partial blue bar only and coloured wheel appears.

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.
    If extensions aren't causing the problem, see below.

  • XP software disc does not work on 8.1 HP PSC 2355v All in One Printer

    Please excuse my novice actions in the subject description as I put my problem and request there. Basically: My XP software Disc will not work on my Windows 8.1 computer for my HP PSC 2355v All In One Printer.  Needless to say I can print with a downloaded driver but can not use the Managerial software on the XP disc.   When I try to work from the printer it does not recognize the computer, so  is there HP software out there that can be downloaded simply to my computer? If  so, Where and How can I get it. Thanks again.

    Hi,
    Unfortunately no more support after Vista but you can use basic function of the printer using the following instructions:

  • How can apple send out an os update that renders an important function of the software/hardware to not work? They knowingly have sent out this new os update for iPad which makes airplay nonfunctining! I need this for my business!

    How can apple send out an os update that renders an important function of the software/hardware to not work? They knowingly have sent out this new os update for iPad which makes airplay nonfunctining! I need this for my business!  I could understand if they didn't know, but it is all over the Internet! When I went in to have it revert back to os6 (which worked fine!) I was actually asked if I had done any research before I installed the upgrade! As if this is the consumer's fault for being dumb enough to fall for the upgrade!

    That is not what I have discovered, nor what others have discovered, nor what I was told when I went the Genius Bar.  I cannot remotely mirror to my MacBook Pro and it only started the day after I installed the upgrade.  We tested it with an iPad that had not been upgraded, no problem.

  • HT1338 my software update does not work using OS X 10.6.8: update icon just stays static and times out, although web is online

    My software update does not work: the icon jams and then times out, although web is online. How to resolve??

    Snow Leopard DVD:
    You can get it only by phone now from Apple.
    In the US, call 1-800-MY-APPLE and ask for a sales assistant. Last quoted price was $19.99 for the single-user and $29.99 for the family licence.
    For other countries, check here; http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    Don't forget to ask for Sales; the tech support guys can't help.
    When you've installed SL it will be 10.6.3. You need to update that to 10.6.8 with the combo installer from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 - that gives you access to the Mac App store.
    Lion is only available by phone also - same number and they'll give you a download code to use in the Mac App Store.
    If you're going to Mountain Lion you don't need to install Lion first - you can do it straight from Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    Specifications;
    Snow Leopard 10.6.x:
    Lion 10.7.x;
    Mountain Lion 10.8.x:
    As for Lion, but also must be one of these groups;

    You are not addressing Apple here. This is a user to user technical support forum. If you are having warranty issues with the phone, a copy of the bill is not necessary for Apple to check and evaluate the phone. If there is a manufacturer defect, they will deal with it.
    What is "not working properly" on the phone. Maybe someone can help and it not be necessasry to be replaced.
