Network Requirements

FlexNet Manager Suite 2020 R1 (On-Premises)

Category	Requirement	Notes
Internet Protocol version	IPv4, IPv6 and dual-stack	Remote execution (such as remote discovery and inventory collection) requires IPv4. Communication between FlexNet Manager Suite in the cloud and the top-level inventory beacon server(s) requires IPv4. Microsoft CAL device license calculations require IPv4 for CAL evidence collection and computer inventory.
Library downloads	For the ARL: https://www.managesoft.com:443/support/Compliance/RecognitionAfter82.cab For the EOSL library: https://www.managesoft.com:443/support/Compliance/EOSL.cab For the SKU library: https://www.managesoft.com:443/support/Compliance/PURL.cab For the PURLs: https://update.managesoft.com:443/ProductUseRights, including access to any sub-directories of this that may be returned to your server in response to its initial request.	The application server (or in multi-server implementations, the batch server) requires access to the URLs shown for downloading regular updates of the data libraries to which your license entitles you. In addition, if that server is protected from the Internet by a proxy server, access to those same URLs must be authorized by the proxy server.
Ports	Minimally, 80 (for HTTP) or 443 (for HTTPS) to access the central application server(s).	Note: Other optional inventory sources may require additional ports. For further details, refer to the topic Ports and URLs for inventory beacons in the online help.
Transport Layer Security (TLS)	1.1, 1.2	TLS 1.1 or 1.2 (recommended) are required for communication between the inventory beacon and the application server. Communication between the application server and the Flexera Analytics server (powered by Cognos) does not support TLS 1.2 in the standard configuration. Please refer to Knowledge Base article Flexera Analytics connection to SQL Server Fails When Server is Configured to use TLS 1.2
