The inventory server processes all inventory collected (or augmented) by the FlexNet Inventory Agent.
In a single server implementation, this step is already completed and you should skip
ahead to Configure the System.
For a multi-server implementation, continue this process as administrator
(
fnms-admin) on either your:
- processing server (in a two server application installation); or
- inventory server (in a three or more server application installation).
To install the inventory server software:
-
On the inventory (or processing) server, open Windows Explorer.
-
Copy the downloaded archive
FlexNet Manager Suite
2024 R1 Installer.zip
from your staging location to a convenient location on
this server (such as C:\temp), and unzip it.
-
Navigate in the unzipped archive to the
FlexNet Manager
Suite\Installers\FlexNet Manager Suite folder.
-
Start (double-click)
setup.exe.
Tip: You must start the installation by running
setup.exe, rather than running the MSI by any other
means. The setup file also installs Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable (if it
is not already present), which is a prerequisite for integration with
FlexNet Manager for SAP Applications.
-
Select the Custom installation path, and do one of the
following:
- For a two server installation, now installing your processing server,
select all of the Inventory server and the
Batch scheduling server for this installation,
and ensure that the Web application server is
deselected (displaying a cross).
- For an installation using three or more servers, now separately
installing your inventory server, select only the Inventory
server for this installation, ensuring that the other
options are deselected.
Take note of the installation location for future
reference.
-
If this server includes the batch server functionality, you are
prompted for the credentials used for batch processes. Be sure that the
account you enter already has
Logon as a service permission
(see Authorize the Service Account).
-
When successful, close the installation wizard.
