Support for automatic upgrade and the ability to download the FlexNet Inventory Agent for Debian-based Linux distributions

IT Asset Management version 2024 R1.2

From this release, you can choose to enable or disable automatic upgrade and also download the FlexNet Inventory Agent for Debian-based Linux distributions. This is similar to upgrades and installations of the FlexNet Inventory Agent for other selected operating systems on the Inventory Settings page in IT Asset Management.

You will no longer have to reach out to Flexera Support for help or log into the beacon server to retrieve a copy of the inventory agent package for Debian-based Linux distributions.

The following changes have been made to the Inventory Settings page in IT Asset Management:

  • Debian-based Linux distributions inventory agent packages are now available for download under Inventory agent for download. You can download the Debian-based Linux distributions inventory agent by choosing it in the drop-down list and clicking Download.
  • Debian-based Linux distributions inventory agent packages have been added to the Platform options list under Inventory agent for automatic deployment. You can enable/disable upgrades automatically by selecting or deselecting the Upgrade enabled check box.
Note: For FlexNet Inventory Agent version 22.2.0, the first upgrade of a Debian environment still needs to be done manually. Subsequent Debian-based automatic upgrades will ensue following the first manual upgrade.

For more information on managing self-upgrades and downloading the FlexNet Inventory Agent, see Inventory Agent for Automatic Deployment and Inventory Agent for Download in the Online Help.
