Flexera agent version compatibility with beacon/application

[thibaud]

Hello all,

On the latest release (23/2024R2), I read that the agent is not compatible with earlier version "If you choose to upgrade to FlexNet Inventory Agent version 23.0.1 and later, you MUST also upgrade your FlexNet Beacon to version 23.0.1 and later."

https://docs.flexera.com/FlexNetManagerSuite2024R2/EN/InvAgentChg/Content/FNMS_AgentChangeLog/AgentChangeLog/ACL_TheLog.htm

On the release before (22/2024R1), I don't read this warning. Shall I assume that a agent in this version 22/2024R1 will work with a Flexera beacon and a Flexera application in version 20.1/2023R1?

Thank you,

Thibaud

Yes, the 2024 R1 (22.0) FlexNet inventory agent will work with any reasonably current beacon versions, including the 2023 R1 (20.1) beacon.
