Changes to supported operating systems and compatibility with other products

Note:This enhancement is available with IT Asset Management.

The following operating system versions have been added to the list of supported operating systems on FlexNet inventory agent:

Debian Linux 11.3 (x86, 32-bit and 64-bit)
Fedora Linux 36 (x86 64-bit only)
Oracle Linux 8.6 (x86 64-bit only)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 9.0 (x86 64-bit only).

The following products and versions have been added to the compatibility list of IT Asset Management with other products:

BMC Discovery (previously ADDM) 22.2
Citrix Virtual Apps 7.2203
Citrix Virtual Desktops 7.2203.

The following operating system versions are no longer supported on FlexNet inventory agent because the compiler libraries have been upgraded to newer versions to stay on top of security vulnerabilities.

Note:FlexNet inventory agent versions prior to this release will still function on these operating system versions.

Important: If you are using the zero-footprint case of inventory collection on any of the following operating system versions, do not upgrade your inventory beacon version to 18.3.0 or later releases.

Tip:Automatic upgrade of FlexNet inventory agent to this release or later releases on any of these operating system versions are disabled. During the automatic upgrade process on some of these operating system versions, an error might occur; however, you can just ignore the error because the existing FlexNet inventory agent installed remains untouched and will keep functioning.
