IT Visibility - TI Platform: Windows Catalog Alignment Update: Market Name Added to Software Reports

As part of ongoing catalog alignment efforts between ARL and Technopedia, Windows catalog entries have been standardized by removing version information from product names. This change supports a more consistent software catalog experience across Flexera solutions.

Customers whose reporting or integrations previously relied on product names for product-version identification may need to review these changes and utilize the updated catalog attributes and identification methods to ensure consistent reporting and data interpretation. To ensure and easily identify and analyze Windows versions, the Market Name field (also known as Version Group) is being added alongside Product Name in key Power BI software reports.

What's Changing?

The Market Name column will now be available next to Product Name, making it easier to:

• Identify Windows version
• Filter and segment software inventory
• Perform version-based reporting and analysis

Reports Updated

The following OOTB reports are enhanced:

• Comprehensive Software Inventory
• Software Portfolio Overview
• Operating System Insights
• Proactive SW EOL and Obsolescence Guidance
• Software Sprawl
• Version Update Planner
• Strategic SW Insights
• Software Procurement Guardian
• Business Service Insights
• Cloud Inventory Overview       
• Comprehensive Hardware Inventory
• Device Search
• Hardware Portfolio Overview
• Host and VM Relationship
• Proactive HW End of Sale and Obsolescence Guidance
• Software Vulnerability Insights

For Custom Reports

Customers using custom Power BI reports are encouraged to include the Market Name field in their report filters and visualizations to simplify version-level reporting.

Customer Impact

The Market Name field is already available within the data model. This enhancement simply makes it more visible within out-of-the-box reports, helping customers maintain version-level visibility following the catalog alignment changes.

Summary

The addition of Market Name to Power BI software reports ensures customers can continue to easily identify and report on Windows versions while benefiting from a more standardized catalog structure across Flexera solutions.

IT Visibility – TI Reporting: Enhancement - Container Software Visibility Live Now!

The Container Inventory Overview Report now extends infrastructure visibility by providing insights into the software deployed inside container workloads, helping organizations understand not only where containers run, but also what technologies they contain.

The report includes:

• Top 10 Software Releases by Containers – Identify the most widely deployed software releases across container environments.
• Software Technology Currency for Containers – Evaluate current software versions and identify opportunities to upgrade.
• Obsolete Software Releases by Year – Track software releases that have reached obsolete status to proactively reduce operational and security risk.
• Software Releases Summary Table – View a consolidated inventory of software releases, associated versions, lifecycle status

This visibility enables teams to improve software governance, strengthen compliance and reduce risks associated with outdated software running inside containers.

IT Visibility - TI Reporting: Restore Deleted Custom Reports – Live Now!

Recover deleted custom reports with confidence.

We’ve introduced the ability to restore deleted custom reports in TI Platform, helping users recover reports that were accidentally removed without having to recreate them from scratch.

Users with the Manage custom reports role can now access a Deleted Reports List from the Custom Reports page, review reports deleted within the last 30 days, and restore them when needed. Once restored, reports are returned to the regular Reports List and can be used again.

This enhancement improves report resiliency and user control, reducing the impact of accidental deletion and helping preserve the effort invested in building custom reports.

Key considerations:

• Deleted reports are recoverable for 30 days.
• Reports deleted beyond 30 days are permanently removed.
• Restoration requires the Manage custom reports role.
• If a report with the same name already exists, the restored report is automatically renamed with _restored.
• Restoration is processed asynchronously and may take some time depending on Power BI processing.

Value:

Users now have a simple recovery mechanism for accidental report deletion, reducing rework and providing greater confidence when managing custom reporting assets.

Official release of FlexNet Inventory Agent 26.3.0

We are pleased to announce the release of the FlexNet Inventory Agent 26.3.0.

Release Date: EU/AP: 2026-09-08, NA: 2026-09-15

This release includes:

• Improved software discovery for security-hardened Kubernetes containers
• Fix for Unix software process cache handling of .war and .ear files
• Bundled software version updated

Customer Impact:

• Previously, software discovery in Kubernetes environments was limited when encountering security-hardened, minimal, or ephemeral container designs such as read-only filesystems or scratch-based images. Now, the Flexera Kubernetes Inventory Agent (KRM) provides comprehensive visibility into containerized software regardless of the container image type, including support for init and read-only containers. This enhancement provides improved risk governance and more accurate license management for modern Kubernetes deployment scenarios.
• Previously, the inventory agent's handling of Java process extensions on Unix systems did not correctly account for .war and .ear files, potentially leading to duplicate entries. This release resolves this issue.
• The OpenSSL, Expat and Go third party libraries bundled with the agent have been updated in this release to address security vulnerabilities.

New in IT Visibility: Device Domain Visibility and Technopedia Subversion for Software Evidence

Available with IT Visibility

We're excited to share two enhancements that give you greater clarity and precision when working with device and software evidence data in IT Visibility.

 1. Domain column added to the Devices page

IT Visibility now displays the domain of a device on the Devices page (Inventory > IT Visibility Devices > Devices).

The Domain column is visible by default in the device list, and the Domain field appears on the Device Properties tab when you open a device.

Why this matters: IT Visibility identifies devices using a composite key of hostname, domain, and serial number. Two devices that share the same hostname but belong to different domains are stored as distinct records. The Domain column and field help you understand why devices with identical hostnames appear as separate records.

With this update, you can:

• View the domain of each device in the device list.
• Filter and sort the device list by domain.
• Search for devices by domain using the global search.
• Export device domain data in CSV format.

For more information, see Identifying Devices Using Evidence.

2. Technopedia Subversion field added to Software Evidence

IT Visibility now shows the Technopedia Subversion field in the following locations, along with their evidence detail pages:

• The Installer Evidence, File Evidence, and OS Evidence views on the Software Evidence page.
• The Software Evidence - Installer, Software Evidence - File, and Software Evidence - OS tabs on the Device Detail page.

Why this matters: The Technopedia Subversion field shows the subversion stage of a Technopedia release, for example

RC1,GA, or Beta. This helps you distinguish between releases that share the same version string but differ in release type, such as a Release Candidate versus a General Availability build.

Note: The Technopedia Subversion column is not visible by default. To show it, use the column chooser on the relevant tab.

With this update, you can:

• View the Technopedia Subversion for each evidence item on the Software Evidence page and the Device Detail page.
• Search for evidence by Technopedia Subversion using the global search.
• Export the Technopedia Subversion value in CSV downloads for all three evidence types.

For more information, see Identifying Applications Using Evidence and Identifying Devices Using Evidence.
