Status-based harvesting only applies to MSL titles that have been set to assign authorizations to the device.

Consolidate will automatically harvest (which includes removing authorization) any authorized software found on any assets that are currently in a status value contained in the ConsAutoHarvestStatusValues setting.  If ConsAutoHarvestStatusValues is blank, then status-based harvesting will not be performed.  Otherwise, ConsAutoHarvestStatusValues will contain one or more status values that an asset may be found in, each separated by a piping ( | ) character.  Any currently authorized MSL item found on any asset in a status whose value is contained in ConsAutoHarvestStatusValues will be automatically harvested.

Status-based harvesting is generally used as a last "catch all" to harvest any remaining software authorizations (and licenses) from assets that have been decommissioned or disposed.
