    Configurable Inactivity Timeout 

     

    Release Date: 02/07/2026

     

    We’re introducing a new setting that allows organisations to customise their inactivity timeout in Flexera One.

    Previously, users were automatically logged out after 30 minutes of inactivity, which many customers found too restrictive especially during longer tasks such as analysis, meetings, or operational workflows.

    With this update, Organisation Admins can configure the timeout between 30 minutes and 6 hours, while the default remains set to 30 minutes.

     

    What’s Changed

    • Organisation Admins can now adjust inactivity timeout settings
    • Timeout can be configured between 30 minutes and 6 hours
    • New setting available in Administration → Platform Settings Section→ Manage Inactivity Timeout

     

    Why This Matters

    • Greater flexibility to support longer workflows without interruption
    • Helps organisations align session behaviour with internal security policies
    • Balances usability and security, rather than relying on a fixed timeout

  2. Stay Ahead of IBM Sub-Capacity Compliance: Introducing IBM SubCapacity Technology Eligibility

     

    We’re excited to announce a major enhancement in the ITAM June 2026 release: full visibility into IBM sub-capacity licenses and the inventory devices running end-of-support (EOS) operating systems and virtualization technologies, enabling organisations to reduce compliance risk, maintain sub-capacity eligibility, and proactively plan upgrades of technologies that are EOS or announced to be EOS in the future for IBM sub-capacity licensing.

    With this release, you can quickly pinpoint sub-capacity licenses and related inventory devices running operating systems or virtualization technologies that have already reached EOS or are scheduled to within the next 180 days so you can act before compliance becomes a concern.

    IBM regularly refreshes the list of operating systems and virtualization technologies ineligible for sub-capacity licensing, removing versions that have reached end of standard support (EOS) from their vendors. Once removed, these technologies are no longer supported by the IBM License Metric Tool (ILMT). Customers typically have a 180-day window to migrate to supported versions, although in some cases the effective removal date may extend further with compliance still required by the specified deadline.

    To help customers stay informed and plan upgrades proactively, IT Asset Management June 2026 release leverages IBM EOS lifecycle data to automatically flag inventory devices linked to IBM sub-capacity licenses that are running operating systems or virtualization technologies which have reached or are approaching EOS. For more details, see the online documentation.

    ITAM Continued Tracking with Backward Compatibility

    IT Asset Management (including FNMS) continues to support inventory agent versions that work with EOS operating systems and virtualization technologies. That means uninterrupted resource usage inventory data collection and ingestion for accurate sub-capacity license calculations even while you’re transitioning to supported platforms.

    What’s new in this release:

    Enhanced Compliance Visibility

    Gain clearer visibility into devices running EOS operating systems or virtualization technologies tied to IBM sub-capacity licenses. A new license alert now appears on applicable sub-capacity license types whenever related inventory devices are running EOS technologies.

    The new alert “This license has one or more devices running technology that IBM has declared ineligible for subcapacity licensing” appears for each affected sub-capacity license on the “All Licenses” page and within the license properties “Possible Issues” section, making it easy to spot licenses that may need EOS technology upgrades.

    All LicensesThe License Consumption grid now includes a new filter showing the number of inventory devices running EOS operating systems or virtualization technologies giving you faster insight into where action is needed.

     LicensePropertiesAlertIBM Sub-Capacity Peak and Current Consumption Reports Extended

    Quickly identify non-compliant or at-risk environments where EOS technologies are in use. This makes it easier to plan upgrades proactively and have informed conversations with IBM about migration and upgrade timelines.

    Note: The example screenshot below shows a PUV license consumption report, but the same applies to all IBM sub-capacity license types reports.

    IBM Peak Consumption ReportDedicated EOS Visibility Report

    The new IBM Ineligible Technology report delivers a single, consolidated view of devices running technologies that are already ineligible (where the removal date has passed) alongside those approaching a future removal date so you can stay ahead of operating system and virtualization technology upgrades.

    Ineligible ReportImportant Note: The IBM ineligible technology indicator is a risk indicator only. It does not automatically change how license consumption is calculated. You should review flagged devices and take appropriate action as required to remain compliant with IBM sub-capacity licensing requirements. Flexera recommends engaging with IBM to agree on upgrade timelines for EOS technologies, to maintain sub-capacity eligibility while transitioning from EOS platforms to supported versions.

     

    This enhancement is available now in Flexera One ITAM with the June 2026 release, and will reach on-premises customers in FNMS On-Premises 2026 R1. Explore the new capabilities and strengthen your IBM sub-capacity compliance posture by proactively planning upgrades of EOS operating system and virtualization technologies.

  3. IT Visibility – Data Export Retention Policy Is Now Live

     

    A 30-day retention policy for Normalize ZIP data exports is now live across all regions.

     

    What's Changed

    • All Normalize ZIP exports are automatically and permanently deleted 30 days after the "Requested" date.
    • Exports older than 30 days at the time of rollout have already been removed.
    • A new "Days Until Deletion" column on the Data Exports page shows remaining days before each export is removed.
    • We recommend downloading and securely storing any exports you need before the 30-day window expires, as deleted exports cannot be recovered.
    • You can always generate a fresh export anytime from the Data Exports page.

     

    This change applies only to Normalize ZIP exports —Queries API CSVs are not affected.

     

    For questions, please contact Flexera Support.

  4. 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.

  7. Upcoming Change: IT Visibility – Query API Delta Resume Token Invalidation (Action Required on July 20, 2026)

     

    As part of an upcoming platform update, existing IT Visibility Queries API (https://developer.flexera.com/docs/api/vis/v2#/Query) delta resume tokens will be invalidated on July 20, 2026.  

     

    What does this mean? 

    On or after July 20, 2026, any delta query that uses an existing resume token will fail. This is a one-time change required to ensure data accuracy going forward. 

     

    What action is required? 

    If you consume delta data via the Queries API, please take the following action: 

    • Remove the resume token from your current request 
    • Run a new query/fresh snapshot on or after July 20, 2026 to generate a new resume token 
    • Use the newly generated resume token in subsequent requests to continue using delta queries.   

     

    Additional details 

    • Snapshot queries are not impacted 
    • No changes are required to the Queries API endpoints or request format 
    • This change applies only to delta consumers 

     

    We recommend planning this snapshot run into your workflows ahead of time to avoid any disruption. 

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