Discussion
The initial configuration of the FlexNet inventory agent can also be set for UNIX-like platforms. For UNIX and OS X, there is no sample bootstrap configuration file available through the central application server. Please prepare your customized bootstrap configuration file by following the documentation named "Gathering FlexNet Inventory". Save the file as "mgsft_rollout_response" (without ".ini") and place it under "/var/tmp".The documentation is available from Product and License Center as well as FlexNet Manager Suite online help.
