I'm spinning up on FlexNet Manager (On prem) and I have a quick question regarding the use of Beacons and Inventory Agents. Is it correct to say that Beacons and Inventory Agents perform the same function but the Beacon performs the inventory remotely, from the Beacon host? When is it best to use either a Beacon or an Inventory Agent? This is the one area, so far, that is not very clear to me. TIA! Pete   ... View more

Thanks for the patience and the assist!! For now, I need to stand up a lab but in the not too distant I'll need to deploy for a couple of customers and so I have a few questions. I have done some reading but the answers are not clear. Is a Beacon functionally a 'remote agent' and fair to say that you don't need a beacon if an agent is deployed?

All thoughts very welcome! Pete   ... View more
