  1. Title

    Merge Workspace App for Windows, Linux, and Mac into Workspace App

     

    Class 1

    Major updates that introduce new content to support new product features/capabilities, modify existing content to change the behavior of existing product features/capabilities, or deprecate any existing content (along with the associated product features/capabilities), which require all customers to make necessary adjustments beforehand

     

    Summary

    Flexera will consolidate the products Workspace App for Windows, Workspace App for Linux, and Workspace App for Mac into a single product named Workspace App. All existing releases and mappings from platform-specific products will be migrated to the unified product.

    Previously, separate products were maintained for each operating system. However, there is no separate installation package for these platforms, as the software is distributed and installed under the single product name Workspace App regardless of the operating system.

    Although the product is distributed and installed as Workspace App across all supported operating systems, the End-of-Life (EOL) dates differ by platform. To preserve platform-specific lifecycle information, the platform designation (Win, Linux, Mac) will be maintained within the Version field using bracketed notation.

     

    Ex: 21.6 (Win), 24.11 (Mac), 2604 (Linux).

    Impact

    This change will impact customers who rely on Technopedia Product ID/Release ID & Names, or previously discovered data mapped to the old product will be mapped to the new product. The change requires the customer to manage downstream processes and reporting in their organization.

     

    Note:

    ->  As part of the new CCN process, releases with the updated name have already been created in Technopedia.

    ->  The migration of discovered data mappings will occur after 1, 2, or 4 weeks, depending on the CCN type. In this case, it will be one week.

    ->  Accordingly, the new release IDs are included in the spreadsheet to help manage downstream processes and organizational reporting

     

    The attached spreadsheet provides a complete list of software products and releases impacted by the product name change from “Workspace App for Windows, Workspace App for Linux, and Workspace App for Mac " to "Workspace App" including detailed information for each updated product.

     

    Timeframe

    Expected Time to Implementation (ETA):  July 16th, 2026.

  2. Title

    FlexNet Inventory Agent Version Group Correction

     

    Class 3

    Minor updates as a result of "Business-As-Usual (BAU)" activities, which historically cause no adverse impact on customers' environment except for coverage increase

     

    Summary

    Flexera identified an inconsistency in FlexNet Inventory Agent releases that were created in Technopedia.

    FlexNet Inventory Agent uses two version formats:

    -> Market-facing release versions: 2023 R1.3, 2023 R2.1, etc.

    -> Internal Agent/Beacon versions: 20.4, 21.1, etc.

     

    FYI: https://community.revenera.com/s/article/what-flexnet-inventory-agent-amp-beacon-release-number-corresponds-to-each-product-version

     

    Both formats represent the same product releases; however, AR data contains evidence in both version formats. To maintain consistency across Technopedia records, Flexera has standardized the versioning approach as follows:

    -> Version = Internal Agent/Beacon version (e.g., 20.4)

    -> Version Group = Market-facing release version (e.g., 2023 R1.3)

     

    As part of this standardization effort, we identified approximately 110 releases that were previously created with an incorrect Version Group association.

     

    As part of this correction activity, Flexera has created the releases using the standardized versioning structure. Approximately 110 existing releases in Technopedia that were created with incorrect Version Group associations will be deleted and replaced by the correctly structured release records to maintain consistency across Technopedia.

     

    Impact

    This change will impact customers who rely on Technopedia Product ID/Release ID & names, and will also map previously discovered data that was mapped to the incorrect versions to the corrected new versions. The change requires the customer to manage downstream processes and reporting in their organization.

     

    Both the existing releases with incorrect Version Group associations and the newly created releases with the correct Version Group are currently present in Technopedia, which may result in releases that appear to be duplicates. To give customers time to review the changes, releases with incorrect Version Group values will remain temporarily and be deleted as per the communicated ETA.

     

    The spreadsheet FlexNet Inventory Agent lists the releases created with an incorrect Version Group and the corresponding correct releases that will replace them.

     

    Timeframe

    Expected Time to Implementation (ETA):  July 13th to 17th, 2026.

    IBM Security Directory Server Component Filesets – Not Eligible for Mapping

     

    Class 3

    Minor updates as a result of "Business-As-Usual (BAU)" activities, which historically cause no adverse impact on customers' environment except for coverage increase

     

    Summary

    We will ignore this evidence, as it is a component of IBM Security Directory Server. These are LDAP client/base file sets that are part of a larger IBM Security Directory Server / Verify Directory package. They are not standalone installable products but supporting components delivered as part of an AIX package set. Based on the review, this evidence is not valid and will be ignored in both libraries.

    Please refer to this URL: https://www.knime.com/downloads

     

    Impact

    This change will impact customers who rely on Technopedia Product ID/Release ID & Names or previously discovered data mapped. The change requires the customer to manage downstream processes and reporting in their organization.

    The Security Verify Directory server spreadsheet provides the complete list of evidence that will be marked as Irrelevant.

     

    Timeframe

    Expected Time to Implementation (ETA):  July 6th to 10th, 2026.

    Manufacturer upgrade: Trustwave acquisition by LevelBlue

     

    Class 3

    Minor updates as a result of "Business-As-Usual (BAU)" activities, which historically cause no adverse impact on customers' environment except for coverage increase

     

    Summary

    During internal quality assessments, Flexera discovered that Trustwave was acquired by LevelBlue. Consequently, Flexera will undertake the manufacturer lineage as part of this product's releases and mappings, transitioning from the previous manufacturer, Trustwave, to the new manufacturer, LevelBlue.

    Please refer to the URL below for acquisition details

    Manufacture update :CyberArk to Palo Alto Networks

     

    Class 3

    Minor updates as a result of "Business-As-Usual (BAU)" activities, which historically cause no adverse impact on customers' environment except for coverage increase

     

    Summary

    Based on our analysis, the manufacturer needs to be updated from CyberArk to Palo Alto Networks. All CyberArk products and releases should be moved under Palo Alto Networks.

    Flexera will also migrate all associated products, releases, and mappings from the old manufacturer CyberArk to the new manufacturer Palo Alto Networks.

  7. Title: OneNote Evidence Re-Recognition Changes

     

    Class 1

    Major updates which introduce new content to support new product features/capabilities, modify existing content to change the behavior of existing product features/capabilities, or deprecation of any existing content (along with the associated product features/capabilities), which require all customers to make necessary adjustments beforehand

     

    Summary

    Context:

    Currently, the Technopedia and ARL libraries have Alignment issues with respect to Product OneNote, especially with Microsoft 365 subscription versions. These are mentioned in the link: Update history for Microsoft 365 Apps (listed by date) - Office release notes | Microsoft Learn

     

    Current Process: 

    If the Discovery Name/evidence for OneNote has a discovery version with a Microsoft 365 subscription, it is currently recognized as the Microsoft 365 Product (PID 1054728482)

     

    Proposed changes: 

    Flexera is planning to curate a new product as OneNote for 365, along with curating the Microsoft 365 subscription versions and Re -Recognition of the evidence. This has already been mapped to the Microsoft 365 Product (PID 1054728482), where the Discovery Name includes OneNote.

    These changes are only for Technopedia since the ARL library has the correct format.

     

    Impact

    This change will impact our previously discovered data mapped to the old product, which will be mapped to the new product. The change requires the customer to manage downstream processes and reporting in their organization.

     

    Note:

    ->  As part of the new CCN process, releases with the updated name have already been created in Technopedia.

    -> The migration of discovered data mappings will occur after 1, 2, or 4 weeks, depending on the CCN type. For this case, it will be one week.

    ->  Accordingly, the new release IDs are included in the spreadsheet to help manage downstream processes and organizational reporting

     

    The new changes will impact both the catalog and evidence mapping levels, as updates and deletions at the existing catalog level will directly affect the existing normalized Mappings.

    The details of these Sample evidence, products, and releases are provided in the attachment

     

    Timeframe

    Expected Time to Implementation (ETA):  July 3rd, 2026.

     

    Thank you.

  8. Title: Product Deletion Notification

     

    Class 2- Minor Update

    This update introduces significant coverage changes that could adversely affect some customers. If these changes aren't reviewed in advance, they could affect customer environments. Please be aware and make any necessary adjustments.

     

    Summary

    These products have been identified as free utilities that do not meet Technopedia criteria for core, widely used, or enterprise-grade software components, and are therefore proposed for deletion from Technopedia.
