Registry Keys for Inventory Beacon
The inventory beacon stores many configuration items and preferences in the Windows registry.
In the following table, the default location for these keys is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ManageSoft Corp\ManageSoft\
Or, on 64-bit systems, the default location is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ManageSoft Corp\ManageSoft\)
In normal operation, these keys exist only in the HKLM hive.
However, if a user runs any executable manually, corresponding keys are created on
demand under HKCU\. These various paths are all represented
with the abbreviation [Registry]
.
Preference name | Details |

User interface: This inventory is reflected in the activity results, for example when you expand details of a rule on the Rules tab of . |
AuthenticationType |
Value type: String Default value:
Optional value: Basic — user name and password are required. Purpose: Controls the authentication type of the proxy server. Registry key:
User interface: Users can modify this key by using the Proxy connection dialog in the FlexNet Beacon interface. |
BaseDirectory |
Value type: String Default value: %CommonAppData%\Flexera Software\Beacon Purpose: The top level folder that the inventory beacon uses to store the files that it manages, including generated packages and configuration. Registry key:
User interface: Not applicable. |
BeaconServicesEndpoint |
Value type: String Default value: none. Purpose: For a top-level inventory beacon, this is the URL of the compliance server that this inventory beacon communicates with. For a child inventory beacon further down the hierarchy, this is the URL for its parent inventory beacon. The URL is used for services including uploading packages, and downloading the current importer configuration files. Registry key:
User interface: This value is visible in the
FlexNet Beacon interface as .
Important: DO NOT edit this value manually
in the registry, nor in the FlexNet Beacon interface. If
you do so, authentication at the compliance server will fail. This
value is set for each inventory beacon within the beacon
configuration file downloaded from the central application server, and should not be edited.
|
BeaconServicesEndpointPath |
Value type: String Default value: inventory-beacons Purpose: The name of the virtual directory on the application server (or on a parent inventory beacon in a hierarchy) used for inventory beacon communication. This path is set for each inventory beacon within the beacon configuration file downloaded from the central application server, and should not be edited. Registry key:
User interface: Not applicable. |
BeaconServicesPassword |
Value type: Encrypted string Default value: none. Purpose: The password used by the inventory beacon
to communicate with the application server endpoint. If this inventory beacon is a child in a
hierarchy that reports to another inventory beacon, the password
is used for these communications.
Tip: If a parent inventory beacon is running the built-in web server (and supporting
anonymous authentication for communication with UNIX-like inventory
devices), the password may correctly be empty.
Registry key:
User interface: For a top-level inventory beacon reporting directly to the central application server, the presence of the password (obscured) is
visible in the FlexNet Beacon interface under .
Important: DO NOT edit this value manually
either in the registry or in the FlexNet Beacon interface.
If you do so, authentication at the application server will
fail. Passwords (and matching user names) for top-level inventory beacons are automatically generated by the IT Asset Management
application server and downloaded within the inventory beacon configuration file. To change the

insert here the password for the account you created on the parent to
run the web service that manages these communications (unless you are
using anonymous authentication, in which case leave the
Password field empty). BeaconServicesPassword for such a case,
download a new configuration file. |
BeaconServicesUserName |
Value type: String Default value: none. Purpose: The account name used to communicate with the application server endpoint. If this inventory beacon
is a child in a hierarchy that reports to another inventory beacon, the user name is used for these communications.
Tip: If
a parent inventory beacon is running the built-in web server
(and supporting anonymous authentication for communication with
UNIX-like inventory devices), the user name may correctly be
empty.
Registry key:
User interface: The user name is visible in
the FlexNet Beacon interface under .
Important: DO NOT edit this value manually
either in the registry or in the FlexNet Beacon interface.
If you do so, authentication at the application server will
fail. Passwords (and matching user names) are automatically
generated by the IT Asset Management
application server and downloaded within the inventory beacon configuration file. This is true for both a
top-level inventory beacon communicating directly with the
application server, and a child inventory beacon
communicating through the hierarchy of inventory beacons. To
change the
BeaconServicesPassword , download a new
configuration file. |
BeaconStatus |
Value type: String Default value: %ProgramData%\Flexera Software\Incoming\BeaconStatus Purpose: The staging folder for data on the current status of the FlexNet Beacon software on the inventory beacon. Registry key:
User interface: Accessible in the web interface through . |
BeaconUIClientTimeoutSecs |
Value type: String (integer) Default value:
120 Tip: This default
applies when the key is not present in the registry. To change to a
different value, create the registry key and supply your changed
value.
Purpose: The number of seconds before the inventory beacon client (GUI) times out while waiting for a response from the beacon service, which in turn is waiting for a response from a connection under test. You should ensure that the remote connection is correctly configured and operational. After a timeout, the FlexNet Beacon automatically retries and restores the link between the beacon client and the beacon service. Registry key:
User interface: Not applicable. |
CheckCertificateRevocation |
Value type: String (Boolean case-insensitive literals
Default value:
Purpose:
When transferring data between an inventory beacon and the application server using
the HTTPS protocol, a web server certificate is applied to the data
being transferred. When receiving web server certificates from
servers, the appropriate agent checks the CA (certification
authority) server to ensure that the certificates are not on the CRL
(certificate revocation list). If an agent cannot check the CRL (for
example, the CA server is firewalled and cannot be contacted, or a
proxy server prevents access), the system can stall. To avoid this
stalling, you can add the Common\CheckCertificateRevocation preference and set
it to
False to prevent code agents performing the
CRL check.
Important: This approach is "for emergency use only" and is
not recommended practice for normal operation. Failing to check for
certificate revocation introduces a security weakness that is
unacceptable in most operational environments.
Tip: OCSP Stapling is not supported.
This preference is not normally present in the registry, with default behavior specified in the FlexNet Beacon code. You can manually add the preference to the registry when it is needed. Registry key:
User interface: Not applicable. |
|
Value type: String (Boolean case-insensitive literals
Default value:
Purpose: When transferring data to or from an inventory beacon using the HTTPS protocol, a web server certificate is applied to the data being transferred. All components can (and by default do) validate the public certificates received from the inventory beacon against their local copy (on Windows, in the certificate store; and on UNIX in the PEM file). You can set this as a common registry entry, so that the same behavior occurs across all components; and you can override the common behavior by setting an overriding registry entry for any individual component if required. By default, this preference is set so that all components check the inventory beacon server certificate against the root CA certificate. Registry key:
User interface: Not applicable. |
ConnectionTimeout |
Value type: String (integer) Default value:
30 (this value of 30 seconds is used when the
Purpose: Specifies the number of seconds to spend in an attempt to
establish a connection from the inventory beacon to a domain
controller before a timeout. This value is relevant only to the
collection of Active Directory information for import to IT Asset Management. (This key maps to the
Registry key:
User interface: Not applicable. |
CredentialTestTimeout
|
Value type: String (integer) Default value:
Purpose: When the inventory beacon is about to attempt a remote execution task on a target inventory device (such as adoption or inventory collection), its first phase is to test whether the supplied credentials can connect to the target. This preference sets the maximum number of seconds that the inventory beacon may wait for a response from the target inventory devices. If this countdown expires, the remote execution task is logged as a connection failure. This registry key is not present by default, in which case the same default value is automatically applied. You may override the default by creating the registry key and giving it a different integer value. Registry key:
User interface: Not applicable. |
CustomImportXMLDirectory |
Value type: String Default value: %CommonAppData%\Flexera Software\Compliance\ImportProcedures\CustomInventory Purpose: The path used to store the customized version of the importer configuration files. Registry key:
User interface: Not applicable. |
CyberArkAppId |
Value type: String Default value:
Purpose: Specifies the application ID to be used by CyberArk to recognize and authorize the inventory beacon engine. Once authorized, the local Password Manager can request credentials from the CyberArk Vault. The format of the default value follows the best practice documented for CyberArk. Registry key:
User interface: When |
CyberArkVaultEnabled
|
Value type: String (Boolean case-insensitive literals
Default value: Determined by presence of CyberArk Credential Provider on this inventory beacon. (Do not edit.) Purpose: Records the discovery of the CyberArk Credential Provider in the expected installation path. Registry key:
User interface: When this setting is true, the Password management page of the FlexNet Beacon interface displays details needed for integration with CyberArk; and the local Password Manager includes an option to select the Vault. |
CyberArkVaultRetryTime
|
Value type: Int32 Default value:
300 (this value of 300 seconds is used when the
Purpose: Relevant only when CyberArk Credential Provider is installed on this inventory beacon, so that credentials may be retrieved from a CyberArk Vault. If an attempt to retrieve a credential times out (which by default takes 30 seconds), Password Manager records the failure and does not attempt to retrieve other credentials for a wait period specified in this setting. This allows faster reporting of time-out errors, which may indicate problems with CyberArk, transient network conditions, or other issues. (Without this mechanism, Password Manager would continue requesting credentials, waiting 30 seconds to each request to time out, and so on — which may stall remote discovery and inventory tasks for hours in a large environment.) Registry key:
User interface: Not applicable. |
CyberArkVaultTimeout
|
Value type: Int32 Default value:
30 (this value of 30 seconds is used when the
Purpose: Relevant only when CyberArk Credential Provider is installed on this inventory beacon, so that credentials may be retrieved from a CyberArk Vault. As a parameter attached to credential requests, it specifies the amount of time that the CyberArk Credential Provider should wait for a response from the central CyberArk Vault before issuing a time-out error. Registry key:
User interface: Not applicable. |
DefaultPingSweepOptions |
Value type: String Default value:
Optional value:
Purpose: Specifies the options passed to
MgsIPScan and used in scanning the network to
discover devices. (MgsIPScan is a customized
version of nmap.) The default value uses an ICMP
ping sweep of the network to identify devices for further testing. To
turn off the ping sweep, you must add the optional value
-PS to the registry key listed below (when passed
through to MgsIPScan, this switches from a ping
sweep to a TCP SYN/ACK scan). Turning off the ping sweep has the side
effect of slowing down the port scans that also form part of the
discovery process. Note: If you have multiple inventory beacons and wish to prevent ping sweeps, you
should create this registry setting on all inventory beacons.
Registry key:
User interface: Modifies the network scanning behavior enabled by the Network scan check box (in tab, when creating or editing an action, in the Discovery of devices section). |
DefaultPortScanOptions |
Value type: String Default value:
Optional value: Any scanning setting accepted by MgsIPScan (same settings as for nmap). Purpose: This option is passed only to the MgsIPScan command line used on known discovered devices, the list of which has been automatically downloaded from the central application server to the inventory beacon. The default value turns off the ping sweep (switching to a TCP NULL scan), so that no host discovery is attempted. The resulting command line then applies the required port scanning options to the known discovered devices, assuming that these discovered hosts are online. Registry key:
User interface: Modifies the discovery behavior enabled with the Use previously discovered devices check box (in tab, when creating or editing an action, in the Discovery of devices section). This setting causes the distinct MgsIPScan command line to be applied to known discovered devices. |
DefaultTcpScanTypeOptions |
Value type: String Default value:
Optional value:
Purpose: This option is passed to the MgsIPScan command lines used for both discovery of new devices and port scanning on known discovered devices. The default value attempts a TCP SYN scan, while the optional value attempts an ACK scan. This sets the behavior of the inventory beacon in applying the port scanning rules received in beacon policy from the central application server. The same scanning method is used for all the different port scanning settings available in the web interface. Registry key:
User interface: Modifies the port scanning behavior enabled in
tab, when creating or editing an action, with the
following settings:
|
DefaultUdpScanTypeOptions |
Value type: String Default value:
Optional value: Any UDP scanning setting accepted by MgsIPScan/nmap (or an empty string). Purpose: This option is passed to the MgsIPScan command lines used for both discovery of new devices and port scanning on known discovered devices. The default value attempts a UDP scan. A typical use case is to set this to an empty string, which turns off the UDP scan. Registry key:
User interface: Modifies the port scanning behavior enabled in
tab, when creating or editing an action, with the
following settings:
|
DistributionLocation |
Value type: String Default value:
Optional value: Any valid file path on this inventory beacon. May be used, for example, to switch the distribution location to an alternative disk drive. Purpose: Provides the base for the file paths for many log- and
data-related folders on the inventory beacon (for details, see
File Paths for Inventory Beacon).
Note: If
DistributionLocation is not set, the following
registry values are checked in order, and, if present, used in
preference to the default:

Value type: String (Boolean case-insensitive literals
Default value: True Purpose: Controls whether the inventory beacon will attempt to connect to an application server for uploading data packages and downloading importer configuration files. Registry key:
User interface: Reflects the setting Enable parent connection on the Parent connection page of the FlexNet Beacon interface. |
FNMPWEBUIURL |
Value type: String Default value: US production instance: https://app.flexera.com European production instance: https://app.flexera.eu APAC production instance: https://app.flexera.au Purpose: The URL of the central application server (or the
web application server, in a multi-server implementation). The value is set
by the installer for the inventory beacon,
determined by which cloud instance you are accessing, and should not
be altered.
Note: This registry value must be set even for a disconnected inventory beacon that cannot access the Internet. Use
Beacon\CurrentVersion\FnmpConnectionsEnabled
to turn off attempts to access to this URL.
Registry key:
User interface: Not applicable. |
HideTaskConfirmationDialog |
Value type: String (Boolean case-insensitive literals
Default value:
False
Tip: This value applies
when the key is not present in the registry.
Purpose: Suppresses the presentation of confirmation dialogs in the FlexNet Beacon interface. Registry key:
User interface: Set to True when an operator selects Do not show me this again in any confirmation dialog for an inventory or business import, or any rule, in the FlexNet Inventory Agent interface. This single setting affects the confirmation dialogs for all local executions at once. The value may be reset (so that all confirmation dialogs are displayed again) by opening the system menu on the inventory beacon (top left corner) and choosing Restore notification defaults; or by setting this key to False, or removing the key from the registry. |

User interface: Not applicable. |
MaxKeepAliveLifetime |
Value type: String (integer) Default values:
Purpose: Maximum age (in seconds) of a reusable (persistent)
HTTP/HTTPS connection. After expiry, the inventory beacon must
request a new connection. Special case of "
0 " means no
maximum age.Tip: Works with
MaxKeepAliveRequests : when either limit is
reached, both counters are reset.Registry key:
User interface: Not applicable. |
MaxKeepAliveRequests |
Value type: String (integer) Default values:
Purpose: Maximum number of uploads attempted on a persistent
HTTP/HTTPS connection before requesting a new connection. Special case
of "
0 " means no maximum (that is, reuse the same
connection continuously).Tip: Works with
MaxKeepAliveLifetime : when either limit is
reached, both counters are reset.Registry key:
User interface: Not applicable. |
MaxQueryAttempts |
Value type: String (integer) Default value:
3 (this value is used when the
Purpose: The maximum number of times that the Active Directory import utility may retry each query to Active Directory, in the event that the query times out. Registry key:
User interface: Not applicable. |
MaxUploadedPackageAge |
Value type: DWORD Default value:
14
Tip: This default
applies when the key is not present in the registry. To change to a
different value, create the registry key and supply your changed
value.
Purpose: The maximum age, in days, that a package may be kept on the inventory beacon before it is deleted. Registry key:
User interface: Not applicable. |
NetworkTimeout |
Value type: String (integer number of seconds) Default value:
Purpose: Determines the length of time in seconds of inactivity
after which a network operation will time out. Notice that the sending
of keep-alive TCP packets is ignored for this purpose — these do not
count as network activity (see Registry key:
User interface: Not applicable. |
NumParallelCommands
|
Value type: String (integer) Default value:
Purpose: When the inventory beacon is managing remote
execution tasks (such as adoption, remote inventory collection from a
general target device, direct collection of inventory from an Oracle
database instance, collection of VMware or XenDesktop inventory, and so
on), this preference sets the maximum number of these high-level tasks
that may be initiated at a time. When this maximum is reached, one of
the current tasks must be completed before the next queued task may be
commenced. This registry key is not present by default, in which case
the same default value is automatically applied. You may override the
default by creating the registry key and giving it a different integer
value.
Tip: If you create the registry key and the value
is corrupted, or evaluates to zero, only a single task is undertaken
at a time, and each task must be completed before the next is
commenced.
Registry key:
User interface: Not applicable. |

none (by default, this registry key does not
exist, and is added only when required).
Tip: If this registry key is not defined
and a proxy is in use, the setting in
Common\ProxySettings is used.
Purpose: If the inventory beacon must access the
central application server through a proxy, this registry key
can be added to identify the protocol, server URL, and port number,
using this
format:
The
proxyServer placeholder may be replaced with the
fully-qualified host name, or with an IP address. For
example:
Since (typically) the same proxy server controls both uploads and downloads between the inventory beacon and application server, this setting is normally kept in sync with the value in Common\UploadSettings\ReplicatorParent\Proxy. (Strictly, the ReplicatorParent may refer to a parent inventory beacon in a hierarchy; but typically proxies are required only for those accessing the central application server.) Registry key:
User interface: Not applicable. |
Proxy (for uploads) |

SendTCPKeepAlive |
Value type: String (Boolean case-insensitive literals
Default value:
Purpose: Determines whether the uploader sends keep-alive TCP (socket level) packets to the destination server at 3 minute intervals. This is helpful when resolving large files (10MB or more) into the inventory database in the central application server, as it prevents network infrastructure from assuming the connection is idle and closing it (prematurely closing the connection prevents the inventory beacon receiving a success message, and triggers repeated upload attempts). Once the application server sends a success message for the final upload of a given file type (or if the server fails 10 times over to respond within 10 seconds of a keep-alive packet), the uploader may terminate the connection. Registry key:
User interface: Not applicable. |
SSLPort |
Value type: String (integer) Default value:
636 (this value is used when the
Purpose: The Active Directory query can use the Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) through a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
link to communicate with the domain controller, for which this is the
port number. This setting applies to the LDAP connection, and for more
information see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.directoryservices.protocols.ldapdirectoryidentifier.portnumber(v=vs.110).aspx.
Note: Use
of LDAP over SSL requires that you have set the Use
