When you are using IT Asset Management, at this stage you may need to approach beacon (re-)configuration a bit differently.
- If you have an account to log in to FNMS Cloud using agw/login (for example, from https://agw.flexnetoperations.com/agw/login), then you can do beacon configuration from your beacon as usual:
- just click "Download configuration" on your beacon (server) - a new tab opens in your web browser showing the Configure Beacon page from Flexnet Manager Suite, displaying the unique identification (GUID) of this inventory beacon in the Unique ID field.
- log in using the credentials you normally use to log from the agw/login page and perform the configuration as usual (and as described here)
2. If you only have credentials for IT Assets (app.flexera.com or app.flexera.eu), then for now you need to perform beacon configuration starting from Flexera One web UI (and not from the beacon application user interface):
- First, on the beacon server obtain unique beacon identifier - launch Windows REGEDIT and navigate to:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\ManageSoft Corp\ManageSoft\Common\BeaconUID
Capture the BeaconUID value and remove the beginning and ending brackets. - Now log in to Flexera One. If you have access to several organizations, make sure you select the correct one in the organization selection section.
- Navigate to Beacons page under IT Assets (not IT Visibility), click "Configure beacon" and copy your beacon UID (without the brackets) and Beacon name to the page
- Finish configuration and then click "Download configuration". If you are logged into the Flexera One Platform on a separate workstation, you must copy the downloaded beacon configuration file to the beacon server.
-
On the Beacon Server, go to the Windows Start menu. Find the Flexera Beacon application and launch it. Be patient while it loads. You will be on the Parent Connection page.
- Click on the “Enable Parent Connection” checkbox.
- Click on the Import Configuration button.
Browse to the location of the downloaded configuration file and select it. The beacon will import the configuration file and attempt to establish secure communication to Flexera One.
