Description
The Enable-CMSoftwareMeteringRule cmdlet enables one or more software metering rules in Configuration Manager. You can enable a rule that you previously disabled by using the Disable-CMSoftwareMeteringRule cmdlet. When Configuration Manager automatically creates software metering rules, it creates them as disabled.
Software metering monitors and collects software usage data from Configuration Manager clients, such as when clients began using a particular software program and how long users have worked with that software. You can create software metering rules that specify which software to monitor.
You can specify rules that enable software metering rules by ID or by product name, or by using the Get-CMSoftwareMeteringRule cmdlet.
For more information about software metering in Configuration Manager, see Introduction to Software Metering in Configuration Manager.
Note
Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.
Examples
Example 1: Enable rules for a specific product
PS XYZ:\>Enable-CMSoftwareMeteringRule -ProductName "Accounting Package"
This command enables software metering rules for a product named Accounting Package. There may be more than one rule. If you previously disabled some rules for this product, but not all, the cmdlet does not inform you that some rules were already enabled.
Example 2: Enable a specific rule
PS XYZ:\>Enable-CMSoftwareMeteringRule -Id "16777229"
This command enables a software metering rule that has the specified ID.
Parameters
-Confirm
Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
