Go to services.msc on the Beacon Server and you can restart the Flexnet Beacon engine services.

There might not be an issue with the beacon engine. So if a restart doesnt fix the issue there is a problem elsewhere. Best thing to do is upload the beaconengine (C:\ProgramData\Flexera Software\Compliance\Logging\BeaconEngine) logs and the uploader log (C:\windows\temp\managesoft) to see if there are any error messages in there in why it is not connecting.
Many Thanks,
Matt

The beacon always initiates the communication with the application server, if that's your question.

@dparab27 - As highlighted by @JohnSorensenDK, communication is always initiated by the FlexNet Inventory Beacon, and the traffic is bi-directional.
The Beacon initiates communication to the Flexera Cloud using both HTTPS PUT and HTTPS GET over Port 443 with TLS 1.2 encryption level.
