Enable AI Classes http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb694072.aspx
CALCollectionType : To be set to 3 (if you want to collect the User/Device based CAL)

CALCollectionFrequencyDays: The default value is 7 days, but a value between 0 and 90 days can be specified.

CALSupportedWindowsVersions: you will have as default “5.0,5.2,6.0." add “5.0,5.2,6.0,6.1." for Windwos 2008r2.


1) You need to contact your TAM to get the MVLS License File (as per Ms Documentation you can download from Ms Licensing site and can import the file, in my experience this was never worked for me at least). Once you get the Excel file, you need to save as XML Spreadsheet and then import in to SCCM Console.

And you can see the reports for MVLS based inventory License report “License 14A – Microsoft Volume Licensing Reconciliation Report


2) For Third Party Licenses you need to create a sample File in the below format and save as .csv file, make sure that you need to have single worksheet/book.
