But does it mean that for Flexera One customers (Early Adopter Program) that the O365 out of the box adapter that came with IT Asset management (formerly FNMS) need to be stopped because the Saas module will create automatically the licenses in IT Asset management ?
Your understanding is correct, You can have one enabled at a time either standalone O365 inventory adapter OR integration with O365 API through SaaS Manager.
When SaaS Manager integration with ITAM is enabled to import license and consumption data from SaaS into ITAM it will automatically disable the standalone O365 connector.
This helps to avoid current data from a single source of truth imported into ITAM.
