What is the recommended best practice for upgrading FlexNet Manager Suite On-Premises from version 2024 R2 to version 2025 R2 while simultaneously migrating from Windows Server 2019 to Windows Server 2025?
Subject: Best Practice for Upgrading and Migrating FlexNet Manager Suite On-Premises

Hello,

We currently have FlexNet Manager Suite On-Premises version 2024 R2 running on Windows Server 2019. We are planning to both upgrade to version 2025 R2 and migrate the application to a new server running Windows Server 2025.

We would like to confirm the recommended best practice for this scenario.

Our understanding is that the safest approach would be to:

1. Install version 2024 R2 on Windows Server 2025.
2. Connect the existing database.
3. Verify that the application is functioning correctly.
4. Perform the upgrade from version 2024 R2 to version 2025 R2.

However, we would like to know whether the following approach is also supported and recommended:

1. Install version 2025 R2 directly on Windows Server 2025.
2. Connect the existing database from the version 2024 R2 environment.
3. Complete the upgrade as part of the first connection/startup.

Is this approach supported, or is it necessary to first install the existing version before upgrading? If installing version 2025 R2 directly is supported, are there any prerequisites or additional considerations we should be aware of?

Thank you in advance for your guidance.

Having an issue with our DEV instance attempting to connect to Db fnmscompliance when initiating webUI.
Having an issue with our DEV instance attempting to connect to Db fnmscompliance when initiating webUI. The fnmscompliance Db doesn't exist on EITHER PRD or DEV DataBase Servers. PRD works fine. Why would DEV look for that Db to open the webUI? Where can I change it to be like PRD and/or would a copy of the PRD Db to DEV correct the issue?

Server Error in '/Suite' Application. Cannot open database "fnmscompliance" requested by the login. The login failed

  Thanks, Chris. Please see below. This is what I'm seeing on the Db Servers for each instance. The top one is PRD, the bottom is DEV. PRD works fine but I don't see an "fnmscompliance" Db whereas, the DEV instance will not open the GUI indicating it cannot find the "fnmscompliance" Db. Both Db Servers look the same with exception of the AppPortal and ContentStore Dbs. Am I missing it? Do you think a copy of PRD Db to DEV environment would correct the issue?

Hi Team, We are trying to understand where we can download the latest license server binaries from? The person who previously did left the company and now we all are lost. We only know the last binary used was - flexnetls-x64_linux-2024.10.0

  This sounds like it may be a topic related to the Revenera FlexNet Publisher product. To reach people familiar with that product, I would suggest posting in the forum for it here: https://community.revenera.com/s/topic/0TOPL0000004LhH4AU/flexnet-publisher

  You might want to post this in the Flexnet Manager forum (https://community.flexera.com/s/topic/0TOPL0000004Lfl4AE/flexnet-manager-suite-onpremises). I don't work with FNMS much, but I was under the impression that the compliance DB was always necessary.. Perhaps prod has the compliance DB, but it is of a different name.

When will the FNMS 2026 R1 release become available for download for all customers and Flexera partner companies?
Working with our Flexera customers, we know that the FNMS 2026 R1 (on-prem) release is available for download since mid of last week. However, we still don see the downloads in the 'Product & LIcense Center'. FNMS 2026 R1 Release notes are available since July 1st, too.
When will this release become available for download for Flexera partners and all customers?

  The FlexNet Manager Suite 2026 R1 release is now available to everybody who is entitled to it based on a current subscription or maintenance agreement.
  
  The release may not be available automatically to some Flexera partners. If you are a Flexera partner and would like to request access to the release then you may need to reach out to your Flexera Partner Manager or Flexera Support to arrange that.

  Personally, I wouldn't expect Trellix' newer core (or other) licensing models to automatically grant entitlement rights to deploy older node-based products unless Trellix's product use rights, grant letter, SKU migration guide, or ordering documentation explicitly state backward-use (downgrade) rights. If you have confirmed that you have such backward coverage included license entitlement wise you will likely to have manually apply this to the license objects.
  
  If you require further guidance from the forum members you may want to include more details about what you have tested.
  
  Thanks,
  John Sorensen
