Important: The instructions in this section are only applicable if you
have previously used the Microsoft Office 365 (or
Microsoft Office 365 (deprecated) connector), have
validated the data coming from the new Microsoft 365
connector, and are ready to switch over completely to the new connector. There
are a few basic steps to follow to migrate licenses and relink contracts and
purchase orders to the new license.
To migrate from an older to newer Microsoft connector, migrate licenses,
and relink contracts and purchase orders to the new license:
-
Check your version of the FlexNet Beacon.
Note: The FlexNet Beacon released with IT Asset Management 2018 R2
(13.1.1) or later is required to use the Microsoft 365 connector.
However, installing the FlexNet Beacon included in the 2019 R1
(13.2.0) or later release provides maximum ease-of-use with the Microsoft
365 connector by including auto-populated values on the Create
PowerShell Source Connection dialog (that otherwise need to be
entered manually). In addition, if you are using a FlexNet Beacon
released prior to IT Asset Management 2019 R1, then Microsoft Office
365 (deprecated) will not appear as a Source Type connection
on the Create PowerShell Source Connection dialog, and instead will
remain Microsoft Office 365.
-
Delete the connection to the old Microsoft
Office 365 or Microsoft Office 365
(deprecated) connector.
Note: Although the legacy connector name is now Microsoft Office 365
(deprecated), the previous name of the this connector's
Source Type was Microsoft Office
365.
-
Relink contracts and purchase orders to the new license.
