FlexNet Manager Suite On-Premises

We have upgraded our environment from FNMS 2023R1 to FNMS 2026R1 version. Post Upgradation we did the smoke test with the Web UI, ARL update and other components as well. But, we encountered an error while the Recon where the Inventory Import is failing with the below error,

=============

Failed to execute Reader

'InsertOptionalSoftwareFilesIntoTempRelevantSoftwareFile'

File:

C:\ProgramData\Flexera Software\

Compliance\ImportProcedures\

CustomInventory\Reader\managesoft\FileEvidence.xml

Error:

Cannot insert the value NULL into column

'NormalizedFileSize',

table 'tempdb.dbo.#RelevantSoftwareFile_...';

column does not allow nulls.

INSERT fails.

Hi Team,

We currently have an FNMS environment where the FNMS application/databases are hosted on separate servers, while our SSRS reporting services and reporting databases are hosted on a different server.

For management reporting, we currently retrieve data from the FNMS databases using multiple stored procedures and staging/reporting tables, and expose the results through SSRS reports.

Over time, we have started seeing some inconsistencies with the reporting data, and since there is limited documentation available for the existing implementation, we are considering restructuring the SSRS reporting solution.

We are planning to organize the reports into areas such as:

1. Discovery – multiple reports/views related to inventory and discovery data
2. Monitoring – multiple operational/monitoring reports
3. Publisher – publisher/software-specific reports and views

We would like to understand the recommended approach for building an SSRS reporting solution around FNMS data, particularly around:

• Recommended FNMS database views/tables or reporting interfaces for reporting purposes
• Best practices for extracting FNMS data into a separate reporting database
• Whether direct database queries, stored procedures, staging tables, or another supported approach is recommended
• Any reference architecture, documentation, sample queries, or SSRS reporting examples available from Flexera

If anyone has implemented a similar FNMS + SSRS reporting architecture, any guidance or documentation would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Subject: Request updated FNMS Docker Monitor binary built with Go 1.25.7+ (CVE‑2025‑68121)

Hello Team,

Our security scanner (Prisma Compute) detected that the FNMS Docker Monitor component:

C:\Program Files (x86)\ManageSoft\Container\fnms-docker-monitor.exe

is built with Go

crypto/tls

version 1.25.3, which is vulnerable to CVE‑2025‑68121.

According to the Go project, the vulnerability is fixed only in:

• Go 1.24.13
• Go 1.25.7
• Go 1.26.0‑rc.3

Can you please provide the latest FNMS Container Monitor / Inventory Agent installer or updated

fnms-docker-monitor.exe

built with Go 1.25.7 or later, so we can apply the remediation?

Hi everyone.

Is there a way to copy use rights from one license to another?

We have a license with tons of upgrade and downgrade rights like this one:

We need to create another license with the same rights and then add some additional restrictions.

Any idea how to avoid doing it manually? Perhaps duplicate the original license and then change it's name and other properties?

Some SQL query?

Thanks in advance,

Pawel

Hi, how is it possible to disable docker monitoring from installing by default?

I tried in setup.ini:

CmdLine=/l*v "%TEMP%\FlexNet Inventory Agent.msi.log" REMOVE=docker

But that only made ALL custom installation options as disabled in GUI installation.

Also is there a complete reference somewhere for setup.ini where we would see all potential command line options?

I was just hoping to find so more solid information regarding this. I was able to find this information:

IOJ-1927932 Agent, Inventory:

Invalid inventory directory exclusions using wildcards may cause high CPU usage and ndtrack process seg faults on UNIX-like operating systems

Please don't specify wildcard within the path set to configure include or exclude directory paths e.g. */oracle/*backup/

From this article - https://docs.flexera.com/FlexNetManagerSuite2020R2/EN/Status/Issues/UnresolvedIssues.htm

But I was hoping to be able to go back to my team with some more solid information.

We currently have 3 AIX machines that are currently AIX 7.2.5.208 TL05. The team has had ongoing issues with these machines for the past few years and high CPU usage. But we haven't had any other teams reporting the same sort of issues with AIX machines.

They have increased all different specs to do with the machines but still face the same issues. With even more CPU/virtual hardware that gets added the more resource's ndtrack just ends up using.

Is there any solid explanation I can give the team besides " using wildcards may cause high CPU usage and ndtrack process seg faults on UNIX-like operating systems"
