Core Deployment: Accounts and Privileges

FlexNet Manager Suite 2024 R2 (On-Premises)

In the Core deployment case, when the FlexNet inventory core components gather hardware and software inventory from the target Windows inventory device, they execute as the user name (or account) that triggered the execution.

To effectively gather inventory, this account must have administrator privileges on the local machine. The preferred practice is for the FlexNet inventory core components to be invoked by the Local SYSTEM user. In production use, this can be configured when you set up the Microsoft scheduled task that is to trigger inventory collection.
