Official release of FlexNet Inventory Agent 26.0.0

We are pleased to announce the release of the FlexNet Inventory Agent 26.0.0.

Release Date: EU/AP: 2026-06-17, NA: 2026-06-24, On-prem: 2026-07-01

This release includes:

• Collection of labels for pods and namespaces in Kubernetes
• Additional diagnostic information for WinHTTP library
• Fix for Java publisher detection logic
• Fix for excessive LDAP lookups for flxrasvc user
• Fix for stuck inventory and usage data uploads
• Fix for CRL download failures using OpenSSL API
• Bundled software version updated

Customer Impact:

• Previously, the Flexera Kubernetes Inventory Agent (KRM) did not collect label key-value pairs for namespaces and pods. Now, KRM captures these labels to provide richer business context, such as team, environment, and cost center. This enhancement improves visibility and supports more informed decision-making for containerized infrastructure.
• Previously, the agent logs provided limited information when a download failed via the WinHTTP library. Now, the agent captures and logs more detailed error messages and security failure codes. This enhancement improves diagnostic capabilities for troubleshooting network communication issues on Windows.
• Previously, the agent's detection logic could incorrectly identify a Java installation as Oracle Java when it was actually from another publisher. This release resolves this issue.
• Previously, the agent performed unnecessary LDAP lookups for the flxrasvc service account when not running in Least Privilege Agent (LPA) mode on Unix-like systems. This release resolves this issue.
• Previously, the inventory and usage data upload job could become stuck indefinitely. This release resolves this issue.
• Previously, the agent could fail to download Certificate Revocation List (CRL) data when using the OpenSSL API. This release resolves this issue.
• The following third-party libraries expat, libcurl, Go, cpp-httplib, cryptopp, kubevirt.io, openssl, sqlite3, zlib and containerd, bundled with the agent have been updated in this release to address security vulnerabilities.
