FlexNet Manager Update: Application Recognition Library #2785 and Service Life Data Pack #632 are available

[PrasadAmin]

What's new in this release
       Changes to note: 

•  The Flexera application recognition library (ARL) previously had some dates for End of Support, End of Extended Support, End of Life, and End of Sale, which confused users who did not have a Software Lifecycle Data Pack (SLDP) subscription. However, in this week's ARL update, those dates have been removed. It's important to note that this change does not impact customers with SLDP subscriptions.
• Count of new applications added:
