2025 R2 Release for FlexNet Manager Suite (FNMS) - Release Date 3rd December 2025
We’re excited to announce our FlexNet Manager Suite 2025 R2 release. It is available for download from the Product and License Center in the Flexera Community.
Release Highlights
- Jamf Adapter enables the collection of inventory data from both Jamf Cloud and Jamf On-Premises environments. This data is imported into FlexNet Manager Suite, allowing organizations that use Jamf to manage macOS devices to seamlessly integrate their inventory with FlexNet Manager Suite.
- Design Mode streamlines working with grid data in FlexNet Manager Suite by allowing you to filter and search data in a grid without triggering a search after every change, resulting in faster, smoother interactions, and avoiding unnecessary reloads.
- Enhanced Accessibility introduces significant accessibility enhancements that comply with WCAG 2.1 Level A/AA, Section 508, and EU EN 301 549 standards. These updates reinforce our commitment to inclusivity, ensure regulatory compliance, and deliver a better experience for all users. Key improvements include enhanced screen reader support, improved contrast, responsive zoom functionality, and full keyboard navigation.
- Improved visibility for inactive users enhances the Consumption tab view to include inactive users who are still assigned a license. These users will now appear in the Consumption tab with a consumption value of 0, indicating that while they remain assigned, they do not actively consume due to their inactive status.
- Enhanced Reporting for Installed Applications on Containers introduced two key improvements: (1) Containers and related data has been added to the Report Builder. (2) A new built-in report "Container Installation Details Report" for container installations.
- Enhanced Active Directory (AD) user import and reconciliation process in FlexNet Manager Suite to improve reliability, scalability, and performance, especially benefiting customers who actively use AD imports.
- Further License key management enhancements - View license keys associated with specific users from User Properties. A new License Keys tab has been added to the User Properties page. This tab displays all license keys associated with the user, either because they are the primary user of a device with an assigned key, or because the key is directly assigned to them under a user license.
- Accurate IBM licensing where duplicate device records exist ensures greater accuracy and reliability to our IBM license reconciliation process in environments where duplicate device records exist in the inventory database.
- Enhanced Oracle Java Worksheet report with several new columns to enhance insights and improve filtering capabilities related to the identified Java install base.
- The Application Object has been added to the Business Adapter to support bulk updates of applications including custom properties.
This release comes together with a newer version of the FlexNet Inventory Agent and Inventory Beacon.
Here is a list of relevant changes:
- FlexNet Inventory Agent version 25.0.0 changes for 2025 R2
- Inventory Beacon 25.0.0 changes for 2025 R2
- Changes to supported operating systems and compatibility with other products: Several operating system versions have been added to the list of supported operating systems on FlexNet Inventory Agent.
