Flexera One IT Asset Management (ITAM) – October 2026 release – Now Available

We are pleased to announce that the October 2026 release of Flexera One ITAM is now available customers. North American customers will receive access during next week. This release focuses on keeping integrations current and reliable, reducing manual effort in data onboarding, and improving device visibility – with enhancements shaped by customer feedback.

Nutanix Prism/AHV Integration Upgraded to v4.2 APIs

The IT Asset Management integration with Nutanix Prism/AHV now supports Nutanix v4.2 APIs for virtualization inventory collection, helping ensure continued compatibility with supported Nutanix platforms as Nutanix transitions away from v3 APIs.

To maximize compatibility across Nutanix environments, the integration first attempts a v4.2 API probe call. If the probe is successful, inventory is collected using the v4.2 APIs. If the Nutanix environment explicitly does not support v4.2 APIs, the integration automatically falls back to the v3 APIs.

Key highlights:

•      Helps avoid inventory collection failures as v3 APIs are retired, and maintains compatibility with newer Nutanix releases

•      Provides a modern, unified API framework with enhanced security, advanced querying and batch processing, and access to new

Nutanix platform features

•      All collected data continues to be normalized into the existing IT Asset Management inventory model, so there are no changes to compliance, reporting, or optimization workflows

This enhancement protects continuity of virtualization inventory and supports reliable compliance and optimization processes for customers running Nutanix.

REST API Support in Business Adapter Studio

Business Adapter Studio (BAS) now supports native REST API integrations, enabling IT Asset Management administrators to integrate directly with cloud services, SaaS applications, and third-party systems without relying on custom scripts or file-based imports.

Key highlights:

•      Connect directly through REST APIs, with a guided configuration experience for connection setup, data preview, and field mapping

•      Import large datasets efficiently with built-in support for common pagination methods

•      Map REST API data directly to ITAM records such as contracts, licenses, and purchase orders

•      Protect sensitive credentials with secure storage, encryption, and masking of API keys, tokens, and client secrets

•      Two new preconfigured Coupa templates – CoupaContract.xml and CoupaPurchaseOrder.xml – provide predefined mappings between Coupa REST API responses and ITAM contract and purchase order records

By removing reliance on external tools and staging processes, this enhancement accelerates integration projects and reduces implementation and maintenance effort.

Simplified AI Purchase Order Ingestion

Users can now start the AI purchase creation workflow directly from the All Purchases page and easily track uploaded documents with direct access to unprocessed purchases. 

Key changes:

•      The Create A Purchase button on the All Purchases page is now a dropdown with two options: Manual Purchase Creation, which opens the General tab of the Purchase Properties page, and AI Purchase Creation, which takes you straight to the Data Imports page with Document (AI Recognition) pre-selected

•      A new View all unprocessed purchases link on the AI creation page opens the Unprocessed Purchases page, so users can check the status of previously uploaded documents in seconds

This delivers faster workflows, greater transparency, and improved auditability, with complete visibility into unprocessed purchase orders throughout the ingestion process.

Note: the AI Purchase Order Ingestion capability requires the Allow AI assisted purchase order upload setting to be enabled under Turn on AI capabilities within IT Asset Management in your organization’s settings.

Full DNS Host Name Support in Device Views and Reports

IT Asset Management now supports DNS Host name as a separate device property throughout the user interface and Report Builder. Previously, device listings relied on the Computer name field, which displays the NetBIOS name and is limited to 15 characters, so longer device names were truncated. The full DNS host name reported by the Flexera Agent is now captured and displayed separately, while existing NetBIOS-based workflows and integrations are preserved.

DNS Host name is available as an optional column or property in:

•      Device views and grids – open any inventory grid, select Column Chooser, and add the DNS Host name column

•      Device properties – shown in the General properties section of a device record

•      Report Builder – available as a report column or filter for custom reports under Inventory Device and Remote Device

This enhancement provides complete device identification across your IT estate and makes it easier to find and report on devices with long host names.

Additional Detail

Full details can be found in the Feature by Release announcement for October here and in the IT Asset Management release notes here, which also cover fixed known issues and the FlexNet Inventory Agent and Inventory Beacon 26.4.0 changes.

Action Required: Flexera One ITAM and IT Visibility: Inventory Unification

For customers using both Flexera One ITAM and IT Visibility, inventory is being unified to provide a more complete inventory view.

With Inventory Unification, devices and software installations that exist in ITAM but are missing from IT Visibility are added to IT Visibility, creating a more complete inventory view without changing ITAM.

A new self-service experience gives you visibility and control before this happens. You can review the expected impact, download detailed impact information, and manage your activation date directly in Flexera One.

Activation dates can be set anytime until November 2. On November 9, all remaining orgs will be activated. For assistance, please contact Flexera Support.

IT Visibility: TI reporting Updates - Export Report with filters applied - Live Now!

What’s New

Users with view-only permissions can now apply filters and slicer selections to a report and export the report with those selections reflected in the exported content.

The Problem We Addressed

Previously, when users accessed a report in view mode and applied filters or slicers, those selections were not carried through during export. Because the export process was backend-driven, the exported report could revert to the default report state rather than reflecting the user’s current view.

This created a gap for users who had permission to consume and analyze reports but did not have edit access, limiting their ability to export a personalized view of the data.

The Improvement

The export experience now captures the user-applied filter and slicer selections in view mode, ensuring that the exported report represents the context the user was actively analyzing.

Customer Value

• Enables view-only users to personalize reports before exporting.
• Ensures exported content reflects the filters and slicers selected by the user.
• Provides a more consistent experience between the report being viewed and the exported output.
• Removes the need for edit permissions simply to export a filtered view.
• Helps users easily share or retain focused, context-specific insights from their reports.

Why It Matters

This enhancement makes report export more aligned with how customers consume embedded reports filter first, analyze the relevant information, and then export the view that matters to them, regardless of whether they have edit or view permissions.

Release Date: 10/06/2026

New in IT Visibility: Drill Down from Software Evidence to Associated Devices

We're excited to share an enhancement that makes it faster to see exactly which devices are behind any software evidence record in IT Visibility.

Device Counts added to Software Evidence

IT Visibility now shows a Device Counts column on the Software Evidence page (Applications & Evidence > IT Visibility Software > Software Evidence). It shows how many devices have that evidence. Click the count to open the Devices page, filtered to only the devices associated with that evidence record and evidence type.

You'll find Device Counts in:

• The Installer Evidence, File Evidence, and OS Evidence views, where it appears as a column.
• The detail page of an individual evidence record, where it appears as a value.

Why this matters: Previously, you had to search separately to find out where a piece of software evidence was installed. Now one click takes you from "what's installed" to "where it's installed." This helps when you're validating recognition, looking into unexpected software, or preparing for an audit.

With this update, you can:

• Go straight from an evidence record to its associated devices.
• Search within just the filtered device records, with the evidence filter still applied.
• Add more column filters and keep the evidence filter in place.
• Export only the filtered devices with Download Grid Data (CSV). The file is named Devices-Filtered-by-SW-Evidence-Export-<date>.csv.

Note: The summary card and group buttons aren't shown on the filtered Devices page.

Release Notes

IT Visibility - TI Platform: Report enhancements – Live Now!

From Current-State Visibility to Historical Technology Intelligence. Introducing Integrated Trend Views Across Hardware, Software & Vulnerability Insights.

As customers use our Hardware and Software Portfolio reports to understand their technology environment, we wanted to take the experience beyond a point-in-time view and help them understand how their environment is evolving over time. Historical trend data collection began in 2025, and we now have approximately a year of datasets that enables us to provide meaningful historical comparisons across key technology and security metrics. With this enhancement, we have integrated Trend Views directly into the main Hardware Portfolio, Software Portfolio, and Software Vulnerability Insights reports, bringing current-state and historical perspectives together in a single reporting experience.

Customers can now track trends across:

• Installations
• Devices Inventoried
• End of Life
• End of Sale
• Obsolescence
• Total Vulnerabilities
• CVEs

The trend views also support the common dimensions and filters available within the respective reports, allowing customers to move beyond overall trends and monitor how changes are occurring across different parts of their environment.

Why we introduced this enhancement

Previously, portfolio reporting primarily helped customers answer:

“What does my technology environment look like today?”

With a year of historical data now available, we can help answer an equally important question:

“How is my technology and security environment changing over time?”

This enhancement allows customers to:

• Track portfolio growth and changes in installations and inventoried devices.
• Monitor lifecycle exposure over time across End of Life, End of Sale, and Obsolescence.
• Understand vulnerability trends by monitoring changes in Total Vulnerabilities and CVEs.
• Identify emerging patterns and changes rather than relying solely on current-state numbers.
• Use dimensions and filters to understand where changes are occurring.
• Connect historical context with current-state insights to support technology planning, lifecycle management, and security prioritization.

Value

Customers can now access historical trends alongside their current portfolio and vulnerability insights, without needing to navigate to a separate experience to understand how key metrics have changed.

This provides a more complete view of the technology environment by combining current state + historical movement + lifecycle exposure + vulnerability trends in the reports customers already use.

IT Visibility - TI Platform: New Report Update – Live Now!

Lifecycle Intelligence: One View. Better Decisions!

Previously, customers looking to understand lifecycle exposure had to navigate between separate Proactive SW/HW EOL/End-of-Sale and Obsolescence Guidance and Strategic SW/HW Insights reports to answer related questions what is already at risk, what is coming next, how severe is the exposure, and where should they prioritize action. While both reports addressed important aspects of lifecycle management, the split experience required users to connect insights across multiple reports.

As part of our continuous review of customer feedback, usage patterns, and input from internal stakeholders, we identified an opportunity to simplify this experience and make lifecycle intelligence more actionable. We have therefore consolidated the Proactive and Strategic lifecycle capabilities into a single, enhanced intelligence experience.

The new Software Lifecycle Intelligence and Hardware Lifecycle Intelligence bring lifecycle visibility, severity analysis, roadmap planning, and organizational impact together in one place. This creates a more connected user journey—from understanding current lifecycle exposure and prioritizing risk to planning remediation, technology transitions, procurement, and future budgets.

What’s New & Enhanced

• One consolidated lifecycle experience: Combines the capabilities previously distributed across Proactive and Strategic Hardware/Software Lifecycle reports.
• Complete lifecycle visibility: Understand current exposure as well as upcoming End-of-Sale/EOL and obsolescence milestones.
• Severity-based replacement prioritization: Identify Critical and High severity devices/models or Software’s requiring attention.
• Hardware/Software lifecycle roadmap: Visualize upcoming lifecycle milestones to support replacement, procurement and support technology transition planning.
• Organizational analysis: Understand exposure across business services, business units, cost centers, and locations.
• Detailed drill-through: Move from roadmap-level model/release insights to lifecycle dates and affected device information.
• Lifecycle-focused analysis: Easily switch between End-of-Sale/End-of-Life and Obsolete perspectives to focus analysis on the required lifecycle stage.

Overall Value

Both Software and Hardware Lifecycle Intelligence reports create a single destination for software and hardware lifecycle visibility, risk prioritization, remediation planning, and future technology planning helping organizations move from simply identifying lifecycle exposure to taking proactive action.

Note: Customer action required!

• For Software Lifecycle Intelligence, update reports and widgets that use EOL Criticality to use EOL Severity.
• For Hardware Lifecycle Intelligence, update reports and widgets that use Last Obsolete Criticality to use Obsolete Severity.

The older fields remain available under the Deprecated section for backward compatibility but are planned for permanent removal in January. After removal, reports and widgets that still reference these old fields will stop working.

Official release of FlexNet Inventory Agent 26.4.0

We are pleased to announce the release of the FlexNet Inventory Agent 26.4.0.

Release Date: EU/AP: 2026-10-14, NA: 2026-10-21

This release includes:

• Web metering module metadata
• FlexNet Inventory Agent Oracle inventory performance improvements
• Immediate upload of web metering data
• Fix for KRM agent and HELM chart deployment failures in OpenShift environments
• Fix for inventory settings download logic
• Fix for Unix software process scan preference name
• Fix for duplicate Unix process inventory records
• Fix for Usage Agent termination on Unix-like systems
• Bundled software version updated

Customer Impact:

• Previously, the web metering module executable lacked descriptive metadata. Now, the webmetering.exe file includes version information, file descriptions, and copyright details. This enhancement provides better visibility and identification of the module for administrators and system tools.
• Previously, Oracle component scanning could consume excessive system resources, leading to long execution times or potential system instability in large environments. Now, the scanning workflow has been optimized to reduce memory and CPU utilization. This enhancement provides faster inventory results and improved host stability during Oracle discovery.
• Previously, web metering data files were saved locally and only processed during the scheduled "Upload client files" task, which could lead to file accumulation if the schedule fell outside working hours. Now, the web metering module triggers an upload immediately after a data file is generated. This enhancement provides more timely data availability and prevents the buildup of unsent files on the device.
• Previously, the removal of an OpenShift extension prevented the Flexera Kubernetes Agent from running as a root user, causing deployment failures in OpenShift environments. This release resolves this issue.
• Previously, there was an issue where the agent would always download the InventorySettings.xml file regardless of whether it had changed. This release resolves this issue.
• Previously, there was an issue where the preference PerformUnixSoftwareProcessScan was mislabeled as PerformUnixSwProcessScan in the command line options, causing the agent to miss some file evidence. This release resolves this issue.
• Previously, there was an issue where Unix process inventory data could include inconsistent property details, leading to duplicate records when the same executable was discovered through both file system scanning and process detection. This release resolves this issue.
• Previously, there was an issue where the Usage Agent could unexpectedly terminate on Unix-like operating systems while reading configuration settings. This release resolves this issue.
• The OpenSSL, Expat, libcurl, containerd, grpc and Go third party libraries bundled with the agent have been updated in this release to address security vulnerabilities.

SaaS Custom Connectors Catalog & Implementation Guide

Flexera One SaaS Management supports a growing range of out-of-the-box connectors, but there are still cases where organizations need to work with SaaS applications that do not yet have a dedicated connector.

To help with those scenarios, we’ve put together the attached SaaS Custom Connectors Catalog & Implementation Guide. It provides example approaches for collecting SaaS user, usage, license and seat data using custom connectors and data imports, including API and CSV options, authentication patterns, pagination details, response examples, mapping considerations and known limitations. The goal is to give customers and partners a practical starting point for extending coverage to additional SaaS applications where suitable APIs, exports or reports are available.

These examples are intended as exploratory guidance and have not been fully tested or certified by Flexera. If you’ve tested one of the documented approaches in your own environment, we’d love to hear about your experience. Feedback on what worked, what required adjustment, or where you ran into limitations will help us improve the guidance and better understand which custom connector approaches are proving most useful in practice.
