Upgrading FlexNet Agent

Flexnet Agent 4.x is not supported in FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications 2021 R1.

Therefore, we recommend that you migrate your existing FlexNet Agents to FlexNet Agent 5.8 before upgrading to FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications 2021 R1. For instructions on how to do this, refer to Chapter 6, Upgrading to FlexNet Agent 5.6, in the FlexNet Agent v5.6 Installation Guide.

Note:Failure to perform the FlexNet Agent migration first will result in a loss of communication between the Manager component and the FlexNet Agent. From that point, migrating to FlexNet Agent 5.8 will restore communications and functionality.
