    Announcement: Updates to Versioning for Snow Integration Manager (SIM) and Snow Extender

     

    To align with the broader Flexera product portfolio and provide clearer expectations around release cadence, version naming, and support timelines, Snow Integration Manager (SIM) and Snow Extender will transition to Calendar Versioning, effective at the end of Q1 2026.

     

    As part of this change, older versions of SIM and Snow Extender will reach End of Life (EOL). Customers impacted by this update are encouraged to plan an upgrade to a supported version.

     

    As of September 30, 2026, the following products will reach End-of-Life (EOL): 

    • Snow Integration Manager v5.x
    • Snow Extender v2.x

     

    End-of-Support (EOS) for these versions will follow on December 31, 2026. After this date, Flexera will no longer provide technical support, updates, or patches for these versions, regardless of whether they are hosted by Flexera, a partner, or within your own infrastructure. 

     

    What’s Coming Next

    We are targeting the release of the following versions by the end of Q1 2026:

    • Snow Integration Manager 26.1.0
    • Snow Extender 26.1.0

     

    SIM 26.1.0 improves connector compatibility, strengthens security and data governance, and restores log access—resulting in more reliable data and improved supportability.

     

    Snow Extender 26.1.0 enhances security and operational stability by restoring secure log access, improving error visibility, and refining XSS protection, while maintaining strong security controls.

    Note: These releases reflect a change in version naming and support lifecycle rather than major architectural or feature changes.

     

    What You Should Do

    To ensure continued support and access to the latest improvements, we recommend upgrading to the latest versions when they become available.

     

    If you have any questions or need assistance planning your upgrade, please contact Flexera Support.

  2. ANNOUNCEMENT: Updates to Versioning for Snow Inventory Agents

     We want to inform you that the Snow Inventory Agents will move to a new version, to better align with the recent changes to Snow License Manager and Snow Inventory Server.

     

    This will also bring the End-of-Life (EOL) to earlier versions of the agent. Please consider upgrading to a newer version if this affects your environment.

    • Snow Inventory Agent for Windows v6.x
    • Snow Inventory Agent for MacOS v6.x
    • Snow Inventory Agent for Linux v6.x
    • Snow Inventory Agent for Unix v7.x

     

     End-of-Support (EOS) for these versions will follow on December 31, 2026. After this date, Flexera will no longer provide technical support, updates, or patches for these versions, regardless of whether they are hosted by Flexera, a partner, or within your own infrastructure.

    These upcoming versions will include improvements to web metering designed to address the recent breakage with the browser extension on Apple Safari, as well as other improvements designed to help you get even more value from your Flexera investment.  

    Note:  These new versions are a change to the naming and support cycle rather than a major feature with architectural changes.

     

    What You Should Do 

    To ensure continued support and access to the latest features, we recommend: 

    • Upgrading to a newer version of Snow Inventory Agent, or.
    • Wait for the new release, if you are using web metering on Apple Safari.

    • I can't see this version when I try to create a support case to request an agent to be built

       

      I can only see up to v7.5 when I try in the agent version drop down.

      Has it been added?
