Hi,
I have been reading that page, which indicates that FNMS is compatible with Windows Server 2017.
Currently our FNMS database runs the 2016 SP1 version - but we would like to make an update for security reasons. Can we safely migrate our DB to Windows Server 2017 without risks ?
Have a nice day.
Paul

I'm not sure if you have a typo here somewhere, but there is no "2017" version of Windows Server. After Windows Server 2016, the next version was 2019.
With that said, FlexNet doesn't actually care too much about the operating system version that the database server runs. As long as the version of SQL Server you are using supports the operating system you are running it on, you should be fine.

Ahh, OK - that's a slightly different question to what I answered previously.
SQL Server 2017 is not formally supported by FlexNet Manager Suite 2016 R1 (as the SQL Server version wasn't even released at the time that version of FlexNet Manager Suite was release). Pragmatically it is likely that it will work OK, but you will be going into somewhat untested and unsupported territory if you try it.

My bad, I actually meant "Windows SQL Server 2017".
Thank you for your answer.
