Agent Third-Party Deployment: Implementation

FlexNet Manager Suite 2024 R1 (On-Premises)

Preparation and third-party deployment of the FlexNet Inventory Agent varies across different platforms.

For all platforms, start with Agent Third-Party Deployment: Collecting the Software.

Thereafter branch, based on the operating system running on the target device:

• For deployment to Microsoft Windows, read the subtopics under Agent Third-Party Deployment: Configuring Installation on Microsoft Windows
• For deployment to UNIX-like systems, read the subtopics under Agent Third-Party Deployment: Configuring Installations on UNIX-like Platforms.

Note: If you wish to self manage all future upgrades of FlexNet Inventory Agent, please ensure automatic deployment of FlexNet Inventory Agent is disabled in FlexNet Manager Suite. Do this by setting the Update mode to Do no upgrade automatically (for details, see the online help, under FlexNet Manager Suite Help > Discovery & Inventory > Inventory Settings). This will prevent competing attempts to upgrade to the latest version of FlexNet Inventory Agent by FlexNet Manager Suite, and then to downgrade FlexNet Inventory Agent to the version you have chosen in your own third party deployment setup.
