IT Asset Management (ITAM) – February 2026 release - Now Available

We are pleased to announce that the February 2026 release of Flexera One ITAM is available for customers in the EU and APAC regions. North American customers will receive access later this week. The first releases of 2026 introduce new features and enhancements, many of which are based on ideas from our ideation portal and direct feedback from customers.

Enhanced Oracle WebLogic recognition

This feature addresses previous gaps where WebLogic Server installations were not always identified by the Oracle FMW Recognition and now includes advanced detection capabilities.

• Expanded detection rules ensure WebLogic Server configurations are identified, even when files are located outside standard locations.
• Improved differentiation between active/configured WebLogic domains and backup or unused copies, providing more accurate visibility.
• Enhanced evidence gathering from Oracle Fusion Middleware audit data, leveraging both configuration files and running process information for comprehensive recognition.

These updates deliver more reliable and precise WebLogic Server detection across a wide range of environments, supporting greater accuracy in inventory and reporting. 

Enhanced Oracle Consumption Summary by Partitioning Rule report

The Oracle Consumption Summary by Partitioning Rule report has been enhanced with a new Points (non vCenter) column, delivering improved clarity and transparency for Oracle licensing analysis. This addition clearly separates and highlights consumption for Oracle installations running outside of vCenter environments, which were previously grouped with all cluster-level calculations. By making the non-vCenter portion explicit, the report enables more accurate and actionable insight into Oracle licensing, supporting better compliance and reporting decisions.

Enhanced reporting logic for IBM PVU consumption on Nutanix VMs

This release introduces a significant improvement to IBM PVU and VPC license reporting for virtual machines running on Nutanix AHV. By establishing precise VM-to-host relationships, the system enables reliable detection and classification of Nutanix AHV VMs, offering more accurate IBM PVU license consumption calculations and preventing previously overstated usage. This enhancement streamlines compliance tracking and strengthens overall reporting integrity for IBM licensing in Nutanix environments.

Change: Container Installs Excluded from Unlicensed Installation Count

As part of this release, we are introducing an update on how container-based installations are reported. Container installations are now excluded from the Unlicensed Installation count, providing customers with more accurate and reliable visibility into licensable installations. The reporting for container installs columns remain unchanged, ensuring clarity and consistency. This enhancement streamlines license tracking and reduces confusion.

In addition to recent improvements, here are several key highlights introduced in the January update:

Superior Oracle Database Management: License consumption for stand-by Oracle databases

This enhancement resolves a persistent issue where SAM tools struggled to reliably detect and report Active-Passive (stand-by) Oracle database relationships due to the absence of a direct indicator. By introducing intelligent pairing and recognition of these nodes, Flexera One ITAM now ensures stand-by databases - such as those using DataGuard - are accurately accounted for, closing a critical gap in license management and compliance.

With intelligent pairing, ITAM delivers consistent and accurate reporting of Oracle Options and Management Packs across all nodes, eliminating false exceptions and under-calculated consumption. 

This improvement builds on a popular idea that has now been successfully implemented, further enhancing the solution in response to user feedback. Organizations gain clearer, actionable insights into Oracle license usage. Licensing for Options and Management Packs is automatically aligned between primary and stand-by nodes, ensuring compliance and full coverage. This enhances accuracy and helps customers make informed decisions.

Flexera One ITAM APIs: New System Health and Tasks Endpoints

Two new API endpoints have been added for Flexera One ITAM to enhance data access and monitoring capabilities, providing improved visibility into system health and task execution. These endpoints empower IT Asset Management customers with greater control by enabling automated checks on system health and task status. This reduces manual effort, boosts operational efficiency, and supports proactive monitoring for smoother IT Asset Management operations.

Service Accounts supported by Flexera One ITAM API

Responding directly to strong customer demand Flexera One ITAM API now fully supports service accounts. This key enhancement enables secure, automated, and scalable authentication to ITAM APIs using non-human, role-based identities rather than traditional user credentials.

Inventorying Azure Uniform VMSS instances

Flexera One ITAM now supports inventorying both Uniform and Flexible VMSS instances, ensuring comprehensive coverage of Azure VMSS deployments. Uniform instances are automatically included and displayed alongside Flexible ones, with no changes to the user interface.

Tanium adapter now supports software usage tracking

The Tanium adapter for IT Asset Management has been enhanced to include software usage tracking. Customers can now access application usage metrics - such as Last Used Date - directly within Inventory Device Properties, enabling improved license optimization and compliance reporting. This update streamlines visibility into software utilization and supports more informed decision-making.

New optional fields added to the Oracle Instances view

The Oracle Instances view now includes additional optional fields such as Corporate Unit, Cost Center, Environment, Location, and Licensable. These additions provide greater visibility and enable more detailed tracking of Oracle database instances across an organization. Notably, this enhancement was implemented in response to valuable user feedback received through the ideation process, demonstrating our commitment to continuously improve the solution based on customer input.
