Announcement: Updates to Versioning for Snow Integration Manager (SIM) and Snow Extender
To align with the broader Flexera product portfolio and provide clearer expectations around release cadence, version naming, and support timelines, Snow Integration Manager (SIM) and Snow Extender will transition to Calendar Versioning, effective at the end of Q1 2026.
As part of this change, older versions of SIM and Snow Extender will reach End of Life (EOL). Customers impacted by this update are encouraged to plan an upgrade to a supported version.
As of September 30, 2026, the following products will reach End-of-Life (EOL):
End-of-Support (EOS) for these versions will follow on December 31, 2026. After this date, Flexera will no longer provide technical support, updates, or patches for these versions, regardless of whether they are hosted by Flexera, a partner, or within your own infrastructure.
What’s Coming Next
We are targeting the release of the following versions by the end of Q1 2026:
SIM 26.1.0 improves connector compatibility, strengthens security and data governance, and restores log access—resulting in more reliable data and improved supportability.
Snow Extender 26.1.0 enhances security and operational stability by restoring secure log access, improving error visibility, and refining XSS protection, while maintaining strong security controls.
Note: These releases reflect a change in version naming and support lifecycle rather than major architectural or feature changes.
What You Should Do
To ensure continued support and access to the latest improvements, we recommend upgrading to the latest versions when they become available.
If you have any questions or need assistance planning your upgrade, please contact Flexera Support.

VMware vSphere 9.0 Compatibility for the VMware vSphere Connector in Snow Integration Manager (SIM)
We are pleased to announce that the VMware vSphere connector in Snow Integration Manager (SIM) has successfully completed end-to-end compatibility testing with VMware vSphere 9.0, including vCenter Server 9.0 and ESXi 9.0.
The validation confirmed that connector authentication, inventory discovery, and data ingestion continue to work as expected.
What this means for you
Important note
No connector configuration changes are required specifically for VMware vSphere 9.0 compatibility. However, we recommend using the latest available version of Snow Integration Manager to benefit from the latest updates and fixes.

Announcement: Snow Inventory Agent v26.1.1 Availability in Snow Update Service
We would like to inform customers that the Snow Inventory Agent for Windows and the Snow Inventory Agent for macOS version 26.1.1 are currently not available through the Snow Update Service (SUS) and therefore cannot be deployed through the Snow Admin Console.
Why is this happening?
The Snow Inventory Agent v26.1.1 introduces a new architecture for the Web Metering capability. As part of this enhancement, the Web Metering module now operates through an independent service that is installed alongside the agent.
At this time, the existing agent upgrade process used by the Snow Update Service is not able to create and configure this new service during an upgrade. To prevent incomplete or unsuccessful upgrades, the agent packages have been temporarily excluded from the Snow Update Service and the Snow Admin Console deployment workflow.
What are we doing?
Our engineering teams are actively investigating enhancements to the upgrade process to ensure it can properly support the new Web Metering architecture and automatically create the required service during agent upgrades.
We are planning to include this compatibility enhancement in a future Snow Inventory Agent release, after validation and testing have been completed.
What does this mean for customers?
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience as we work to deliver a seamless upgrade experience for customers adopting the latest Web Metering functionality.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support.
