Flexera One

Hello Flexera experts,

A customer would like to integrate Oracle Human Capital Management (HCM) into SaaS Manager.

The base module is licensed by Hosted Employee (basically anyone accessing even partially to the application (internal employees, external consultants), is is managed in HCM) and the other modules (Talent Management for instance) are licensed based on module usage which is super complex to assess and is not exposed in REST APIs.

Has anyone successfully integrated usage data into FlexNet Manager or SaaS Manager... or even requested Oracle to make usage data available through scheduled flat files extraction for instance?

Thanks,

Nicolas

Hello Team,

We are using Flexera One and recently upgraded our FlexNet Beacon from version 22.4 to 25.1.0. Following the upgrade, the Beacon UI is not opening successfully and displays the following error message:

"Beacon service not found."

"The application could not start because it could not connect to the FlexNet Inventory Beacon Engine service. Please check that the service is running."

However, when we check Windows Services, we can see that the FlexNet Inventory Beacon Engine service is present and running successfully, which makes this behavior somewhat confusing.

As part of our troubleshooting, we reviewed the prerequisites for Beacon version 25.1.0, which indicate that .NET Framework 4.8 is required.

We verified the installed .NET Framework version using the following PowerShell command:

(Get-ItemProperty 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full').Version

The output shows 4.8, suggesting that .NET Framework 4.8 is installed on the server.

However, when checking Add or Remove Programs, we can only see .NET Framework 4.6, and there is no visible entry for .NET Framework 4.8. To further validate this, we attempted a manual installation of .NET Framework 4.8, but the installation failed with the following error:

"Installation did not succeed. .NET Framework 4.8 has not been installed because: Cannot find object or property."

For reference, I have attached the following:

1. Beacon UI error message
2. Beacon Engine log screenshot
3. .NET Framework installation error screenshot

Has anyone encountered a similar issue after upgrading from Beacon 22.4 to 25.1.0? Any guidance, recommendations, or troubleshooting suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Regards,

Hi everyone,

Is it possible to create a custom report that shows every license and the restrictions implemented on it from the restrictions tab?

Thanks,

Hi all,

I am building a management report in Flexera Analytics (Flexera One ITAM) that ranks publishers by purchase spend per calendar year. The purchase side works well: using only Publisher name and Purchase amount from the Flexera Asset Management Model (relational), filtered on Purchase date before auto aggregation, the figures match the All Purchases view exactly.

The next step is to spread multi-year purchases across the contract term (contract start date to expiry date). For that I need the link between a purchase and its contract. In the product this link exists (Contract properties > Purchases tab, and Contract no. on the purchase), but I cannot find it in either Analytics package:

• Flexera Asset Management Model (relational and dimensional): the Purchases folder has no contract field, and the Contracts folder has no purchase field. Combining both in one list yields a cross product (every purchase amount repeated per contract).

• Flexera Data Models: same picture.

• The FNMS Schema Reference for the Analytics models does not list a relationship either.

Questions:

1. Is there a supported way in Flexera Analytics to report purchase amounts by contract, or to get contract start and expiry dates onto a purchase row?

2. If not, is the relationship planned for a future release of the Analytics packages, or should this be raised as an Idea?

The calculation needs to stay inside the platform (scheduled Analytics report, no external spreadsheet), so I am looking for a way to get contract start and expiry dates onto the purchase rows within Flexera Analytics itself. Any pointers welcome.

Thanks!
