TrueCommand miscounts disks

I have 2 freenas servers that can see the same JBOD. Some disks in the JBOD as in use by each FreeNAS instance. For purposes of the default license, it appears TrueCommand counts every single disk in the JBOD (even if that disk is not in use by the FreeNAS instance). With two FreeNAS instances attached to the same JBOD, it will count all FreeNAS disks twice. If you have additional disks not in use by FreeNAS those will also be counted. As a result I'm unable to manage my array using TrueCommand.

For a single instance it indicates I have 37 used disks of the 50 max disks, but according to FreeNAS for that instance I have 11 disks including boot , l2arc, and cache. The remaining 26 disks are for another FreeNAS instance. If I attempt to add that second FreeNAS instance then it counts 37*2 = 74 disks, counting every disk twice.

TrueCommand should probably just count disks not marked as Unused for each instance.
