2024 R2 Release for FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications (FNMEA)

We are excited to announce the 2024 R2 release for FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications (FNMEA). We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all our customers for their valuable feedback, which continues to guide us in delivering enhanced features and functionality.

In this release, we have introduced following new features and enhancements:

• Third-Party License Server Down Alert: This alert lets users monitor third-party license servers and receive notifications when a server goes down or is unresponsive. Once the server is back online, the alert is automatically dismissed. Multiple alerts can be configured for different servers, with notifications sent to the Alerts Inbox and optionally via email. The server status ("up," "down," or "unknown") is displayed in the Alerts table and the Third-Party License Servers page.
• Parse Decrypted Report Logs Using the RL Parser: FNMEA now includes the RL Parser, allowing users to decrypt FlexLM report logs from FlexNet Publisher (FNP) license servers and save them in JSON format. The decrypted logs provide detailed server activity information, such as checkouts, check-ins, denials, and usage levels, organized by vendor and product.
• FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications Master Configurator (FNMEA MC): FNMEA FNMEA MC is a new tool that simplifies the configuration of FLEXlm and third-party license servers (like Reprise or Sentinel). It provides a unified configuration point for all third-party licensing technologies, automating setup and configuration processes. The tool configures connectors for third-party licensing and transfers configuration files to the FNMEA admin server for processing.

Changes from Previous Releases

• Spring Framework Upgrade : The Spring Framework has been upgraded from version 5.3.33 to 5.3.39 to address security vulnerabilities.
• PostgreSQL Partitioning Support : FNMEA 2024 R2 introduces support for PostgreSQL partitioning (version 12.0 or later) to improve query performance.
