Flexera Inventory Agent Support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.9?

Hi all ...

The FlexNet Manager Suite 2023 R2 System Requirements and Compatibility guide (the latest Flexera release as of this posting) states that the agent supports "Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6.0-6.10 (x86, 32-bit and 64-bit); 7.0-8.8 and 9.0-9.2 (x86 64-bit only)" - it skips over RHEL 8.9.  

Is RHEL 8.9 supported by any version of the inventory agent?

RHEL 8.9 is newer than the FlexNet Manager Suite 2023 R2 release, so that RHEL release couldn't be tested or included in the compatibility information.

Latest FlexNet inventory agent versions available with Flexera One deployments do support RHEL 8.9 (see here), so it would be reasonable to expect that agents in the next FlexNet Manager Suite release that is published will also support RHEL 8.9.

I would guess it is likely the FlexNet Manager Suite 2023 R2 agents will work on RHEL 8.9 (it is rare that there are changes in an OS minor version that would impact the agent), although I don't personally know of anybody who has tried it.
