Official release of FlexNet Inventory Agent 25.3.0

We are pleased to announce the release of the FlexNet Inventory Agent 25.3.0.

Release Date: EU/AP: 2026-03-18, NA: 2026-03-25

This release includes:

• Enhanced Linux agent service management
• Removal of 32-bit agent installers
• Security context and liveness configuration for Kubernetes agent
• Fix for Windows agent upload blocking due to missing WinHTTP timeout values
• Fix for agent service management after systemd migration on Linux
• Fix for ndtrack failure with exit code 126 when /tmp directory is set with noexec
• Fix for Kubernetes agent not gathering inventory details due to missing InventorySettings.xml
• Fix for inventory upload failure after gathering Oracle Database or FMW inventory
• Fix for duplicate content records in process inventory for application detection
• Bundled software version updated

Customer Impact:

• Previously, the Linux agent installer called systemctl start after migrating from init.d to systemd, which could leave services in a broken or stale state. Now, the installer uses systemctl restart to ensure services are properly restarted and running. This enhancement provides more reliable service management during upgrades.
• Support for 32‑bit Linux i686 and Solaris x86 agent installers has been removed in this release. From version 25.3.0 onward, only 64‑bit agent installers are included in IT Asset Management deployments.
• Previously, the Kubernetes agent (KRM) did not support configuration for resource allocation, liveness probes, labels, or security context. Now, the agent supports a user-editable YAML file for these settings, allowing customers to customize limits, livenessProbe, and securityContext on the KRM controller. This enhancement provides greater flexibility and compliance with internal security policies.
• Previously, the Windows FlexNet agent did not set explicit WinHTTP timeout values, which could result in upload operations blocking and ndupload.exe hanging. This release resolves this issue by ensuring appropriate timeout values are set.
• Previously, the Linux agent only called services via init.d, causing newly upgraded agents to fail to start when using systemd. This release resolves this issue by implementing systemd calls when starting or stopping agent services, ensuring proper service management after migration.
• Previously, the FlexNet Inventory Scanner could fail with exit code 126 if the /tmp directory was set with noexec, particularly in container environments. This release resolves this issue.
• Previously, the Flexera Kubernetes agent (KRM) did not gather inventory details associated with settings in InventorySettings.xml because the file was not copied into containers being scanned. This release resolves this issue.
• Previously, uploading inventory could fail with an error indicating "Failed to load library /opt/managesoft/lib/libuploader: Not enough space" after gathering Oracle Database or FMW inventory, especially on 32-bit systems. This release resolves this issue by improving memory management during the upload phase.
• Previously, there could be duplicate content records if the file system scan reported the same executable as a running process, leading to redundant entries in the inventory. This release resolves this issue by ensuring only a single content record is created per executable, improving inventory accuracy.
• The Expat, Go, and OpenSSL third party libraries bundled with the FlexNet Inventory Agent have been updated in this release to address security vulnerabilities.
