This article explains how to configure your beacon using the Flexera One user interface. These steps cover retrieving the Beacon UID, creating the configuration in Flexera One, and verifying connectivity between your beacon and Flexera One.
- Retrieve the Beacon UID from the beacon server
- On the beacon server, open Registry Editor (regedit).
- Navigate to:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\ManageSoft Corp\ManageSoft\Common - Locate the BeaconUID value.
- Copy the value and remove the opening and closing curly brackets.
- Sign in to Flexera One
- Log in to Flexera One.
- If you have access to multiple organizations, ensure you select the correct organization before proceeding.
- Configure the beacon in Flexera One
- Navigate to the Beacons page (Data Collection > IT Assets Inventory Tasks > Beacons).
- Select Configure A Beacon.
- Enter the following information:
- Beacon UID (without the curly brackets)
- Beacon Name
- Download the beacon configuration
- After completing the configuration, select Download Configuration.
- Copy and paste the configuration file to the beacon server.
- Navigate to your Beacon server (hosting the Beacon application)
- On the beacon server, open the Start menu.
- Launch Flexera Beacon UI.
- Allow a few moments for the application to load. Once open, navigate to the Parent Connection tab.
- Import the configuration
- Select the Enable Parent Connection checkbox.
- Click Import Configuration.
- Browse to the downloaded configuration file and select it.
- The beacon will import the configuration and attempt to establish a secure connection with Flexera One.
- Verify connectivity
- After the import completes, confirm that the beacon successfully connects to Flexera One and displays a healthy connection status.
Note: The Beacon UID entered in Flexera One must exactly match the Beacon UID from the registry, excluding the curly braces ({ }). This ensures the configuration is applied to the correct beacon.
