Flexera One

Hi all,

I am building a management report in Flexera Analytics (Flexera One ITAM) that ranks publishers by purchase spend per calendar year. The purchase side works well: using only Publisher name and Purchase amount from the Flexera Asset Management Model (relational), filtered on Purchase date before auto aggregation, the figures match the All Purchases view exactly.

The next step is to spread multi-year purchases across the contract term (contract start date to expiry date). For that I need the link between a purchase and its contract. In the product this link exists (Contract properties > Purchases tab, and Contract no. on the purchase), but I cannot find it in either Analytics package:

• Flexera Asset Management Model (relational and dimensional): the Purchases folder has no contract field, and the Contracts folder has no purchase field. Combining both in one list yields a cross product (every purchase amount repeated per contract).

• Flexera Data Models: same picture.

• The FNMS Schema Reference for the Analytics models does not list a relationship either.

Questions:

1. Is there a supported way in Flexera Analytics to report purchase amounts by contract, or to get contract start and expiry dates onto a purchase row?

2. If not, is the relationship planned for a future release of the Analytics packages, or should this be raised as an Idea?

The calculation needs to stay inside the platform (scheduled Analytics report, no external spreadsheet), so I am looking for a way to get contract start and expiry dates onto the purchase rows within Flexera Analytics itself. Any pointers welcome.

Thanks!

Hello,

During the review of Waters software recognition, I noticed that Flexera reports the following applications:

- NuGenesis Unify

- NuGenesis Transfer

However, according to our software inventory and application catalog, we currently use:

- NuGenesis 8 NMD User

I would like to understand whether:

- NuGenesis Unify and NuGenesis Transfer are components of NuGenesis 8 NMD User;

- the recognition is behaving as expected;

- an updated recognition rule exists for NuGenesis 8 NMD User.

Could you please confirm the expected product mapping and advise whether any inventory files (NDI) or additional evidence would be required?

Thank you.

Hello,

While reviewing the software recognition for Certara products, I noticed that Flexera currently recognizes only the main product "Phoenix".

On our environment, we also use additional Phoenix components such as:

- Phoenix NLME

- WinNonlin

My question is:

Is it possible to recognize and report these components separately within Flexera One, or are they intentionally consolidated under the generic Phoenix application?

The objective is to obtain a more detailed view of installed Certara products and improve license and application tracking.

Could you please confirm the expected behavior and advise whether additional recognition rules are available?

Thank you.

Hi Team,

We are using Flexera One and recently upgraded our Flexera Beacon from version 19.x to 22.4. As part of our upgrade roadmap, we are planning to upgrade the Beacon further to the latest available version.

However, after upgrading from version 19.x to 22.4, we encountered an issue while testing connectivity to the ManageSoftDL and ManageSoftRL virtual directories from the Beacon server. The test fails with the following error message:

"Server Error in '/ManageSoftDL' Application. Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=6.0.0.0'"

It is worth noting that the Parent Beacon connectivity test is successful, indicating that communication between the Beacon and its parent is working as expected. The issue appears to be specific to the ManageSoftDL/ManageSoftRL web applications.

Please find the attached screenshot for reference.

We would appreciate your guidance on the possible cause of this issue and the recommended steps to resolve it.

Regards,

Ravi Ladhawala

We have a legacy SCCM server. It has been removed from the beacon and it has been disabled in Data Imports. Now we are trying to delete it. A verification pop-up is displayed with the note:

Are you sure you wish to remove this data feed?

Note: Until this feed is disabled or removed on the beacon, this feed will continue to be recreated.

As stated, the feed has been disabled AND it has been removed from the beacon, but it still shows as inventory source, although it shows disabled. Is there a delay in it actually being removed from the WebUI list?

Thanks -Jon

Hi, good morning.

We are currently experiencing a communication issue between the Flexera agents and the Beacon. Although the agents are successfully collecting inventory data from the devices, the information is not being transmitted to the platform, preventing the inventory process from being completed.

The behavior observed indicates that local data collection is working as expected; however, communication with the Beacon is not being established. We have already performed several infrastructure and configuration validations without success so far.

Has anyone experienced a similar issue? Is there any additional configuration required on the agents to explicitly point them to the Beacon or associate them with it?

Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
