flxfsscan process consumes excessive memory leading to system performance issues on MAC.

Is flxfsscan is FLexera process?

flxfsscan is a process from with the FlexNet inventory agent. Some brief information about it is on this page: Agent Third-Party Deployment: Configuring the Operation Mode on UNIX

I have not heard of any problems with large memory usage in this process. However there is a known issue in some agent versions related to unexpectedly large disk space usage. See here:

IOK-1053230: Cache file /var/opt/managesoft/cache/flxfsscan_report can grow very large over time because it is not deleted after gathering inventory
